Associate it with something good like dinner, don't just throw her in then shut it. Let her get used to it over a few days and put her bed in it and make sure shes happy in it befor eyou close the door

Go for the largest you can afford and that can fit in your home. The bigger the better. But why does she need it?

I just ordered one for dog I will be getting soon. Just so can make him feel safe and like his own den as he's rescue dog. He's lab cross staff and I ordered extra large.

Yes, I was wondering that.

I use one, but I had it right from when he was 8 weeks old. Is she misbehaving?

The reason i want to try get her into 1 is because i have always been against it untill i was at my aunts house and she does it with her dogs. And although she has toys i have this fear of comming home and my lino floor being ripped up.

If you feel you need to, no harm in trying, just leave the door open so she can wonder in and out...
