When you crate train your dog, does that become their permanent sleeping place at night? I've heard you can remove the door once they're potty trained, but doesn't that defeat the whole point of having them in the crate? And if not, wouldn't a dog bed be fine, since they could wander out of their crate anyways? I'm asking this because my dog is pretty well potty trained, she defenetly lets you know when she needs to go outside. Her normal nightly routine is as follows: falls asleep between 8-9pm, usually wakes up around 5:30am, I take her out then I go back to sleep on the couch with her until around 7am. I know I have created a bad habit for her by doing this, but she is so sweet & cuddly in the morning and I can either go back to sleep for a little while or I can listen to her cry. We are going to put the crate in our room tonight and I'll put her back in it after she goes outside, hopefully that'll work. I've gotten a bit off track, but I think I got the basic question asked...
