Echo has slept in his dog crate for 2 nights, clever boy. Its in my room with a cosy duvet and my sweaty tshirt inside and blankets over the top. The door stays open. I just threw a Bonio in one time we were upstairs putting socks away and he went in, collected Bonio and straight out. Did it again and let him examine crate. Then he decided to sleep on the crate roof :) Our routine now is " Bedtime!" and he trots upstairs with me, I get in bed and shut bedroom door and he goes in the crate and his lights are out:D Poor little dog is tired on 3 walks, ball chasing and 10 minutes training a day. Now Im getting my sleep, Im raring to go :D
