Where else would you be able to let them become accustomed to a crate besides your home?...Believe me, I don't like the idea of leaving them in a crate for hours on end and I don't do it...but when they are in there, they sleep most of the time...Like I said....Mackenzies crate is left open all day for her to go in and out of as she pleases, and she is in it, at her own will quite often...When I am out I feel much better knowing she is safe in her crate then out doing god knows what......its like wearing a seatbelt...who the heck wants to be strapped into something...but if you've done it from the get, then you are used to it and it doesnt bother you...better safe then sorry.... just my opinion
