 I'm not for it
I am not crate training my yorkie. he has slept with me from day one. During the day he is in a pen. I gate the kitchen off so that he can't get hurt or into trouble. If you go on the pet show's website (it is a radio show..he has a book out "how to get your dog to do what you want" in the book and if you do a search on the website he has an article "The case against Crate Training".
I don't think it is a horrible thing and I think it is good for shorter durations, travel, or if you are at home...but I prefer not to leave my dog in one when I am gone or for hours and hours during the day.
