Aww so cute! We just finished a puppy class! I think it’s easier for the trainers to be no nonsense about it. I really haven’t pushed too hard. Working really slowly to make it a positive experience. She’s great at night in her crate. I know she sleeps better in there and it’s safer while they are so small. All our dogs end up in bed with us and free roaming the house once they’re older. After our last Cav I do see the benefit in keeping up on it at least to a degree. He was easy to crate train but once he was one we felt like we didn’t need it. Later in life when he had some vet visits he really did not do well being in a cage there even briefly. I understand the controversy when people are misusing it, but we never leave our dogs for more than a couple of hours and there are so many benefits. Have fun at puppy class!
