Position the crate in an area that is easy to supervise, not in an isolated area. At night your bedroom is an ideal place so the dog can feel secure near their owner. Avoid drafts or direct heat, and experiment with crate drapes on the top and/or sides for added security. Multiple crates throughout the home makes training much easier. Be sure to never leave a puppy unattended. If you can't watch them -- crate them.
A crate should never be overused or used as a form of punishment. Crates must always be regarded as a safe and special retreat for your dog. Is your dog crate trained?
