Hbrika,
Maybe you could just leave the crate around
so she can enter it whenever she wants to,
and try not to influence her one way or another.She might be like Jackie's Perry
and just feel more secure inside the crate.
While I personally would not crate/cage a
dog for training purposes, a lot of people do. Maybe Gully's early puppy experiences
had something to do with how she feels about
her crate.If she's doing well(sounds like a
super family dog)in all other areas, guess
then I wouldn't worry to much about it...
It makes me so happy to hear that she is
a rescue girl.Hugs to Gully !!!
