Our current set up is blocking off the den with a gate and his crate is inside always open. Lately I have noticed that he almost never goes in his crate when we are home. He is usually napping on his bed in our bedroom (where he sleeps at night) or he will lay at any one of the door mats. I have came home to him napping beside the crate in a spot where more sunlight comes through the patio doors.
We were thinking of removing the metal crate from the den and just put another bed or mat down for him to nap on when he's in there when we are out. I understand the importance for him to have a place he feels safe so I am wondering if removing this crate will give him any issues. We have never even closed it, only used the gate at the den. I would eventually like to put the computer desk back in the den. I would also like to eventually leave him to roam the house as he is not a big chewer but lets try one step at a time
Any thoughts?
