Well im kind of anti-crate!!! lol I dont use one so I dont have advice or suggestions there. As far as not wanting to go out...well hmmm...I did a topic called "spooked doodle" because something in my backyard scares him and I dont know what. Maybe Charlie is scared of something too. Its weird because you think "what dog doesnt want to go out?". Leno loves to be outside, but my backyard is creeping him out for some strange reason!
Does Charlie act affraid of something when you bring him out?

Leno just sleeps in my room at night on his dog pillow..sometimes in my bed :shock: I havent had a problem with him chewing things, I guess im lucky as far as that goes! The only thing I have a problem (well not really a problem) with the crates is...if your dog is locked in a crate and someone breaks into your house then that could be a problem. As soon as Leno hears something outside or if the doorbell rings he goes right to the door. I sleep too hard at night, I probably wouldnt hear someone rattling around with my door...but he sure would!
