who had a dog afraid of the crate?

[snooks]

On the site recently someone's dog was afraid of the crate and there were lots of good suggestions. But someone I remember had a doggie play date come over and run in the crate and it helped the scared dog decide the crate was okay. I can't find that thread. I was trying to steer a new poster here and would love to provide that thread if anyone knows which/who. They have a scared boxer puppy that won't eat her peanut butter kong and has been pooping in the crate and making a big mess.

They're taking some good steps to help and got into a puppy class coming up soon. Any pointers on that post would be appreciated. Thanks. :doglaugh:

Thanks Collieman-- I gave them this one but I thought maybe it was Tigerlily that had a visitor come over their dog ran in the crate and erased all of the fear by playing a little. Maybe I read it somewhere else. In any event this is a good post too.
