@dana-k actually Dana, I do not believe the trainers say that eventually, they come to like their 'safe place'. Mine now will stay and eat in his crate, when the door is open. If i try to close it, i see the look of a prisoner, and he definitely wants to get away. I would have felt the same, btw. Currently, when i go out i 'crate' him in my salon. Until now, no real damage was done, at least not different from the damage he tries to do (like eat the plants) when i am with him.
New JORs

Today we headed out for some NOTRA racing. It was a beautiful day! Miss Sophie needs some more muzzle training but I think she is going to have a lot of fun once she starts to ignore the muzzle. Rally also needs some more muzzle training but did alright and is starting to actually beat other dogs instead of just fussing with her muzzle.
Rio and Cole both completed their JOR, Junior Oval Racer titles today and Rio picked up one ORC, Oval Racing Champion, point bringing her to 4.5 points out of the 12 she needs. The Junior Oval Racer title is equivalent to an AKC Senior Courser title. It requires a dog to complete all 3 programs of 4 race meets. Rio also picked up another leg toward her SOR, Senior Oval Racer, which is a challenging title because it requires a dog to place in the top 50% of racers at 6 race meets.
My mom's boy Levi picked up 3 points towards his ORC and needs only 3 more points to finish his championship. Barb Sauceda's girl Nestle picked up 3 points and finished her ORC so over all a big day for everyone!
