Ok, first, sorry if this has been asked, I searched but didn't find exactly what I was looking for.
I just got Sadie 3 days ago, she is house trained, knows sit, stay, shake, lay down, and a few other commands. She is also crate trained.... kind of. She is really good once I can convince her to go in the crate, but she doesn't like the idea of getting in there on her own. She's a year or so, is there any way to convince her that her crate is her 'den'? A lot of people say their dogs LIKE going in the crate. I figure Sadie's probably had a bad experience with it, I just want to know if it's hopeless.
