[QUOTE="Suz, post: 267384, member: 29"] I never believed in crating until I saw how much my girls learned to love theirs....well, all except Chelsea. I guess the husky in her just couldn't tolerate being cooped up. Molly and Chloe have both loved their crates. They came in handy when they were youngsters to train them. I put away Molly's when she stopped chewing the house up to shreds. It took Chloe forever to be reliable in the house when I wasn't around. It was never a housebreaking issue but another chewer like Molly. I have Chloe's up because she considers it her sanctuary. If she gets scared she goes in it, if she wants some "privacy" (said loosely since it's the kind that is completely exposed-lol). I keep it for her mental health more than anything else. If Ace is accustomed to using a crate I would suggest bringing it home with him. He's learned to consider the crate his home and it would be like removing a blankie from a baby without any opportunity to withdraw. If you are philosophically against it, then don't lock the front and let him come and go as he pleases and then slowly wean him from it. Suz [/QUOTE]
