Note from the LADY: Hooray! For three months, I encouraged Maggie to like her crate. She received treats and rubs there. I sat on the floor and read next to it, while she relaxed inside her crate. I gave her a luxurious cushion and super-sized it, so she wouldn't feel confined. Still, there was no way she would go into her crate without a good amount of convincing. Finally, this weekend I was walking down the hall, and I noticed that she was laying in her crate without being asked.
