Yes, she is crate trained, however I do not do the time outs. It usually stays quiet for about 5 min and then she starts up all over again. Their crate doors are ALWAYS open, but Buddy is the only one who will go in and just lay there. They are in their crates all day while I am at work b/c the way my walls are panneled, I can not use baby gates to keep them in the kitchen. I don't like putting her in there other than that simply because she is in there during the day.
