167 It had cross my mind that the pup could have a bad association to her crate if I use it in this manner. Usually I wouldn’t intervene but Sooty would just keep at it no matter what Ara did… standing up, ignoring, avoiding, etc… everything but have a nip at her to stop it as my male dog did. I will give it another go to see if it will play out where Ara will eventually reach that stage where she will decide to use a little bit more force with maybe a nip.
