[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's mainly for housebreaking and safety until hey can be trusted not to get out f trouble when you aren't home.  It's also practical since there are many times in. Dog's life it must be done like an overnight at the vet's, visit to the groomers, and sometimes as a guest in someone's home. One of our dogs takes agility classes and each of the dogs has to be crated at some point. It's a convenient tool to have handy if you like to do things outside your home with your dog. [/quote]

This is how we use it too.  i work from home so am generally around, and now that we are past house training the dog generally has free reign of the house when we leave too. The crate is in a corner of the kitchen with the door open and he chooses to lie in it when we eat there, and sometimes other times I think because he likes it - nice soft padding and in a corner with a towel over the top, so very den like.  Also where he goes any time he has a particularly delectable treat, since in general we don't mess with him in there - that's his safe space where the kids aren't allowed to bug him.  Very useful though to have a place we can contain him as needed.  [/quote]
