Well, mine doesn't hate hers at all. She's in love with it! I keep it in an end table by the couch in the family room, but when I'm feeling lazy I just lay it on top of the table. Kacee will climb up the arm of the couch and stare over the arm looking at her leash trying to hint for me to take her for a walk! I tell you that I think she'd never come in if she didn't get tired!
