Mine are all crate trained as babies… they eat and learn to sleep in crates (the crates are in the bedroom so it is not like they are in one part of the house and we are someplace else), however I am lucky that they do not need to be crated during the day, as we have a doggy room with a doggy door outside. Right now my "kids" living at home are all elders... so they all sleep in bed, but they still all eat in their crates.
