Ozzie asked:


We have a situation where we just adopted a dog that was in a very bad situation and might have been abused. The dog is some sort of Collie/Lab mix and weighs right at 30lbs and 1 year old. The problem is we have a current dog for 6 years, a miniature daschund. The two get a long just find and are very loving dogs. However, the new dog is a lot bigger and we just can’t allow him to do the things we let our dashunds, such as jump on the couches and sleep in the bed with us, he just is to big. We want to crate train him but not our older dog. I have read a lot about crate training and how you teach them that it’s their space and never to put them in for punishment, which is fine with us. My concern is it okay to crate one dog and leave the other one out of his crate? Also, at night the dashund usually sleeps in the bed with us, can we crate the other dog in the kitchen or should we crate him in the bedroom with us as well? My concern is he will cry and bark all night and keep us awake. Any advice would be great!
