[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. She knows when we're packing up to leave in the morning & just heads to her crate without any signal, same with when dinner is getting ready to put on the table.

Similarly she uses her smarts for evil (j/k) because she will ONLY steal toys or try to steal food when no one is in the room with her. And if she succeeds, you know it immediately because her guilty self gives it away.

She's a 2 year old lab-beagle mix rescued from a kill shelter as a tiny puppy.[/quote]

"heads to her crate without any signal" + "She's a 2 year old lab-beagle" = ???

Why would you lock a beautiful smart 2 year old lab/beagle dog in a crate for a whole day?
Dog that is not a puppy and that is trained not to chew on furniture nor pee or poop in the house can be easily left at home for the day when  you are at work. 
Worse case scenario if  you are afraid of soiling you could designate an area that is easy to clean as for instance the kitchen and gate it around so dog can walk about freely and have his bed there to sleep, water and food accessible.

I can not imagine crating and adult dog. It is very harmful for them because the dog is a large creature and needs to move about. Crating animals leads to depression, circulation problems, joint problems and obesity.

Free dog is a happy dog. [/quote]
