[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 270280, member: 84"] I use the crate for both "time out" and for sleeping, ect. My dogs never mind it at all. Seem to know the difference. Molly and Betsy have had plenty of Time Outs in the crate of the years......and Betsy willingly goes to hers every night to sleep. Molly hasn't slept in a crate in years, but still will go into it on the rare occasion she feels overwhelmed or afraid. Personally, since he has a major chewing issue.......I'd crate him when you can't be there to keep an eye on him. As long as you give him plenty of love, exercise, and attention when he's not crated he won't mind it. Over time you can take the next step and "crate" him to a single room with baby gates and see how he does with more freedom. Once you're pretty sure the chewing is under control you can let him have the house. Molly was 3 when she finally no longer needed the gate. Betsy is 3 now, but prefers to sleep in hers so I haven't put it away yet. Until this past school year, Betsy was crated when I was gone at school, went we left the house for some reason, and at night. She also loved to chew. She still loves her crate. :) Hugs [/QUOTE]
