re: For those that crate their dogs during the day

The old girl (RIP)..Precious (lab mix) was able to go in the crate at 6-7 months and hold it for 8-9 hours no problem. Annabelle (chocolate lab) never could get acclimated to the crate...she has anxiety issues and would literally slobber all over the crate...she held it without being in the crate. The GSP mix was gotten much later in life (she was 4)...but didn't have any issues with holding it.
