Sedona and Derby march right into their safe space on command and sleep in crates. We're working on Sofi, she sleeps there at night. I'm a great believer in crates. The dogs DO like it. More than once we have found Derby the terrorist wandering around the dining room table looking for ANYTHING! Thanks. Hi,

I hope it all works out for you. The only thing I can suggest is crate training Sofi -- all our dogs have been crate trained and perhaps you can teach Sofi to stay in her crate if Sedona is about. I'm sure she will be relieved, anyway. Our basenjis sleep in crates at night, and I also crate them if they will be unsupervised while we're home, otherwise they will steal the keys and drive our cars away, not to mention chewing up my $200 purse and my favorite shoes.
