Hi Jill,

Welcome to the board!

I did not and would not put Snowy in a crate because I feel that it is cruel and dogs need to have stimulation during the day....having them sit in the crate all day is mean.......having them get used to it as a means of relaxation to go to sleep at night is different, because that is their "safe place".

Is there anyway that you could cover some of the furniture while you are both at work?

It's good that you are asking these questions and being responsible about obtaining knowledge before going forward--don't be afraid to ask questions!
