I am a first time dog owner, and our dog is about 6 months old. The people we bought her from had her, as a puppy, accustomed to sleeping in a crate. We have always done the same, she sleeps in a crate at night. This was fine when she was a puppy, as she slept a lot, but now she seems to have much more energy. She is in there while we are in bed, and then for about 4 hours during the day and she seems restless. Unfortunately, it is my parent's decision, because they don't want her to "tear up the house". Is she spending too much time in there, and if so, is there a good way to transition her into having way more space when she's alone?
One more thing, my parents for some reason put a blanket over her kennel at night, so that she can't see out. I have always thought it was a stupid idea, because if she hears something, she can't see what it is. Does this matter?
Thanks a lot.
