    Crate train my 2 year old chocolate lab
    How can I crate train my 2 1/2 year old chocolate lab. I am trying to put treats in and she gets the ones she can reach without actually going in. The others she is just leaving. Should I just continue this until she gets comfortable to go inside?

    I have to ask this, but why do you have to crate train an adult dog? Are acclimating her to be shipped somewhere? Yes, I can see her reaching the ones that accessible only ! Does she have a favourite blanket, something of yours for the scent that she would be comfortable sleeping on? I see this as being difficult as she has already bonded with you and the trust would be there.

    She is probably confuse as to why you want her in a crate.

    Stay tuned. We have a lot of dog experts here with good input !
