Hi folks,

Received my 8 week pup and training is going well. He's learned Sit, Come, Find among other things.

My question is that we bought him a doggie bed but he also came with a crate. We have him in a large hallway (6' x 12') with a pet gate containing him. At night, he prefers to sleep in the bed rather than his crate.

Is it a wise decision to leave him in this enclosed area rather than crating when we're gone? I'm on vacation for this whole week to help integrate him into the family and I'm wondering if it's stupid of me to even consider not crating and just keeping him in the hallway (nothing to damage, it's all tile and wall--the guy gets pretty tired since we romp, play and Kong like no tomorrow).

Or should I put the doggie bed away and start getting him used to the crate itself?

Thanks for any input.
