[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the first rules of dog training is not to punish a dog for obeying a command. If you dog doesn't like the crate, putting her in it after she comes when called is setting up a bad scenario. Could you gate her off in one area of the house instead of putting her in her crate?[/quote] +1 Crates are useful tools for containing a dog when necessary and particularly for puppies. But using a crate long-term as OP is doing is not good for the dog. I would gate off an area of the house, or use a room for the dog to hang out in while you are gone. Our dog is crate-trained but we never use the crate, ever. She has the run of the house when we are gone.[/quote]
