My youngsters are all crate trained and sleep in their crates at night I learned the importance of this when Bob was sick and would not go into a crate<div><br></div><div>However I'm interested by the difference of opinions on crating when your not home...I'm scared shitless to leave my dogs crated when im not home, I'm worried about a fire, I always think at least if they werent trapped they could maybe get out as we do have a doggy door..I guess we all have our fears and an unstuffed couch is way down on my lists of scary things to come home too (been there done that) and a fire is at the top.</div>
