    Do your dogs sleep in crates at night??

    Just wondering how many dogs sleep in crates at night. Chico does because he likes to try to tear up the couch pillows when no one is around. Guapo only sleeps in his crate if no one is home, otherwise he sleeps with me in my bed.

    Gracie and Maggie sleep in crates in my room at night. Houston and Trudy stay in the kennel at night. Beanie does whatever he wants.

    Nope. None of my 3 do. They have the choice to sleep wherever they want.

    Kiara and Nala usually come to bed with me, sometimes Simba too. But, he likes to sleep on the floor next to my parent's bed.

    Nope, no crates for mine. Grant sleeps on the couch. Sadie and Maggie are usually in bed with us. Sometimes they sleep under the bed or in the living room. They can sleep anywhere they want.

    Kia used too. Then she was able to roam loose when I wasn't home or at night. But she tore some things up last night so she's back in the crate.

    Kennel, couch, rug, & blanket

    Our sons dog Max is a black lab & from a puppy on he has slept in a kennel. Our son had to invest in a huge Kennel because Max has grown into a huge dog. Our Australian Cattle dog is a couch lounger & sleeps on an old couch in the basement. My Australian Shepherd sleeps on the rug by my bed or on an old comforter blanket down on the floor.

    My foster is the only one that sleeps in the crate. Everyone else is with me.

    Snoopy, Taggert and Pippi sleep in crates at night. Not because they would tear things up but because they think they all can sleep with us and we only have a queen size bed. Also Snoopy and Pippi like to play at night and I don't appreciate being awakened by their growls and barks trying to get each others toys. If they would lie on the floor or sleep on the couches in the family room or living room they would not have to stay in their crates. Dazzi usually sleeps in our room. Sometimes on the bed but a lot of time on the floor. Jack has a bed next to our bed and that is where he sleeps. He is the best - he rarely moves after he goes to bed!

    Payson sleeps in his crate at night because he still isn't fully potty trained.

    No sleeping in crates here. Micki sleeps with my brother, Mini with my parents, Shadow usually on the couch and Jack with me. Kyra just recently lost all night privaliges because she was pooping on the floor almost every night. She isn't in a crate though, shes tied up to my bed.
