If your dog is not house trained or likes to chew or scavenge, it is a good idea to put your dog in a crate at night while you’re asleep. Creating a positive association with your dog’s crate will help your pup feel comfortable and content in the crate. Dog crate furniture is a good option for overnight crating, since it can double as a bedside table. This keeps your dog close to you at night and adds a functional piece of furniture to your room.
