Combining crate and pen

    Combining crate and pen

    I will be getting a shiba inu pup in the next 2 weeks or so.

    I have a crate and also a x-pen.

    My plan is to keep the pup in the x-pen during the day while I am at work. I work close to home so i will be coming home mid-day to feed and walk. Should I keep the crate in the pen or should I keep it outside the pen.

    Thanks for any advice.

    Hi Jeff, welcome to idog.
     
    If you want the pup to see his crate as his own special haven, I'd remove the door and keep it in the ex pen.  That way he'll be able to use it when he wants to.
