Good! You can encourage her by placing her water, food bowls in there until she truly enjoys time in the crate. Pile all her toys in there, toss her treats in there and gently praise her every time she enters. Before long, she’ll come to enjoy her sanctuary. If she ever requires crate rest or staying overnight at the vet, you will be so glad she doesn’t dread crate time!
