[quote=Anonymous]We have done both ways depending on whether the dog liked it. You do kind of have to try to brainwash them to like it, but if you are successful, they will go in there on their own and it will be their relaxing place. We adopted our current dog a few months ago. He had been abandoned and still has so many GI issues and anxiety. He likes his crate as his safe place, and it is nice to have a place to put him where he won’t have an accident. He puts himself to bed in his crate every night between 8-10, depending on when he is sleepy, which  is cute. If you crate train your dog, it’s nice that you have people over (workers, or people scared of dogs, or small children) that you can crate your dog and he won’t bark or whine because he will not be upset to be locked in there.

That said, we have never crated a dog for more than a few hours, except at night. I think it is cruel to crate a dog for the workday.

Our former dog never liked the crate, so we just gated her off in a puppy proofed room until she stopped chewing things she wasn’t supposed to[/quote]
