Just don't use the crate as a time out or punishment, it's the dog's room, keep it positive and fun. The dog is your buddy. |
+1 - this has been the norm for all of ours. When we go out, they go in their crates. When we come home, we wait for them to calm down, then they come out of the crates and go straight outside. Doing their business outside then gets them lots of praise.
