Crate Training We started out with training with a crate. With in a few days Shiva begin to associate the crate with us leaving the house. Well one day right in front of us she walked into her crate and left a deposit. Talk about a eye opener. Now we feed her a few baby carrots as a bribe, it works great. Before bed time 3 chopped baby carrots and away she goes to the bedroom. We tried to keep her sleeping in the crate and that didn't work at all. She howled all night, she behaves very well in the bedroom. We think she just wanted to be around people. If we could only train her to sleep in on the weekends.
