It was recently pointed out to me a couple of good reasons to crate train your dog. I have relatives due in this wknd, worried about Ruby getting stepped on. It was suggested crating 9not the entire time) would be one way to alleviate those worries. Also, God Forbid, your dog should ever have to spend the night at the vet, but if so they would be crated there. Less stress on your dog if they have been crate trained before a vet's stay.
Also, the idea of in case of fire your dog would know just where to go, when told, is a great idea!
