We have a German Shepherd, A Pit, Husky Puppy and a Small older dog. They ALL Love their own spaces and go to their beds on command. They sleep in them at night at bedtime and while we are at work away from the house. This not only protects your house but protects them from dangers around the house. Its not mean...the really do enjoy having a place to consider their "Own Personal Space". Drogo/ Husky pup is 11 1/2 weeks old we have had him since 6 weeks and he is already crate trained, We just upgraded him to the big crate because he outgrew the smaller one and he is Loving it. We put his blanket and some of his toys in there for him.
