I've posted a few times before that Tilly is just not a fan of her crate. She will be 7 months old on Sunday, and she still hates it. Most nights, she will still bark for 5 mins when I put her in which is not ideal as we now have neighbours joined to our semi detached townhouse.
So I decided to ditch the crate - she's never going to like it, I've persevered for 5 months and she's a big girl now (sob!)last night I just put her bed where her crate usually is (on the landing outside our room) put her in it and closed our bedroom door...... Woof woof woof!!! Still barking! Paranoid the neighbours will hate us!
In the end she ended up on our bed (first time ever) which certainly won't be a permanent arrangement!! What should I do??
My thought at the minute is that I just leave her downstairs in the lounge and kitchen as that is where she's happiest..... Any other ideas?

P.s. finally worked out how to share my holiday iMovie, here's the link to the post-holiday thread
