crate training a 10 week boxer: what mattered most for you?

Nori is a land shark with springs for legs. Nights are improving but daytime crate naps are a scream festival unless I time them perfectly.

Covering worked for mine until she noticed light existed.

Boxers are weirdly terrible at knowing they're tired.

Schedule, but not the Instagram kind. More like 'oh wow he's turning feral, into the crate now'.

I voted treats but the real answer was catching the nap window before the goblin hour.

Goblin hour is exactly the phrase. 6:40 pm and she becomes a felony.
