A question about crates

1723 Views 10 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  Smeagle
Brie is nearly to the point where we need to get a larger crate and I'm a bit worried as she is so attached to her present "boudoir". She insists on supervising when we move it from room to room and inspects it thorougly after each move(as if I would change anything in it without her permission) :biglaugh: Anyway, we're going shopping this weekend. It's not like Brie will voluntarily go in her crate, so this possessiveness amuses me, however, I doubt I will be amused if she freaks out when she realizes that she has to "break in" a new crate!
Any suggestions???

Thanks Eleanor! Now I have a plan. I do have one more question, because this is the first time that we decided to crate train. I am home during the day and when we first brought Brie home she was going out every half hour or so. I pretty much put alot on hold to tend to her. Now that she is getting older, she doesn't have to go out as often, so I am trying to get back on schedule, but I find myself really torn about putting her in her crate while I am right here. Since I don't have eyes in the back of my head, I am finding it nearly impossible to keep up with her constantly, especially with the constant chewing. We are working on getting her to go into the crate on her own, but I think she is still too young and curious for that. I guess what I am asking is; is it alright to put her in her crate off and on throughout the day, for my sanity as well as hers??
