i am crate training my 10 month old rottie. i never had to do this with my 1 year old rottie rocky. When i took my lil boxer chelsea home last week i thought i will crate train her from the beginning!!! i dont want to make the same mistakes...my dogs sleep in my room with me..they dont get crated at nights just when we go out. Now i have all 3 dogs in the bed with me and my partner...i put them on the floor but when i wake up they are sharing the bed with me. :lol:
