Re: [PyrNet-L] Help with crating problem

["Janice Swenson" <janices@jump.net>]

I've always started mine out being crated in the bedroom at night 
while I'm asleep.  And I have ended up with a few sleepness nights 
from whiners wanting out but usually settle down pretty quickly.  I 
use various techniques depending on the dog on getting them used 
to the crate as the crate should be a pleasant experience, ie, get 
fed in the crate or get their favorite treat in the crate or get their 
favorite toy in the crate for awhile or nothing besides just where it's 
located (security of being in bedroom where I sleep and rest of the 
dogs sleep).  Eventually I move the crate out of the bedroom and it 
goes back to it's normal spot where by then they go in and out of 
them as they please.
