Love them dogs

No kidding, BG.

What was your secret to getting Reba to take to her 'den'? We've tried food enticements. He settled in once and I closed the door and he made an enormous racket. He stuck his paw out and I held it until he fell asleep. That's the only time we've been able to get him to use it.

Mostly just time, repetition and a few extra treats. A little tough it out while she fussed. Few nights one of us layed/slept next to kennel. Mrs bo found a YouTube channel with long strings of music supposed to be soothing that Reba seemed to respond to.

Probably 7-10 days total with first 4 nights being rough.

Helluva lot more effort than our departed heeler. Brought him home, told him kennel was his spot and he went to kennel anytime I went to bedroom, for 15 yrs.
