Tucker is approaching 4 months and I crate him next to me when I go to bed. I was just wondering what other people's experience (specifically age) was in trusting to not crate their Corgi when they go to bed.

FYI: my dogs are 9 and 5 and have slept in a crate all their lives. I don't have to worry about them giving me kisses when I want to sleep, and they don't bark at every noise- I guess they feel like since they are locked in, they are off duty.

I read that dogs feel comfortable and safe in crates, esp with covers.  In Petco, I saw there are snug body covers for dogs, like for working or service dogs. They are to calm dogs who are anxious, etc. I believe that.  I watched Dog Whisper TV  shows, and love them. One dog had a body cover to use for part times cuz so anxious etc. 

I wonder if  Corgi dogs bark too loud or what?  I have not meet any Corgi dogs except Thor s father dog who is so cute. Really shedding, cuz it was hot. 

Griffin is almost two and still is crated at night and when we leave the house.  Our first dog was a basset hound who got into everything so I just expect Grriffin to do the same (he doesn't) but I'd rather be sure he's safe.  Also, if he's out of the crate he barks at every noise.

wow  While growing up, we had 2 Basset Hounds but they lived outside, not inside home.  I plan to have Thor sleep in one crate at nights , and sleep or stay in other crate in dining room in corner when necessary.   I went to PetCo but there are not many crates to look at. Just metal ones. Small ones. Online Ive seen better ones, but at loss of which is good. So many .

Some people like the wire and some like the plastic crates. Snicker's crate started falling apart and I realized it was over 30 years old! I bought her a medium Pet Mate VariKennel  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000MLG484/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00  it is the same brand as the one we got our Spaniel 9 years ago which is holding up well.
