What is proper behavior for children when they are around the dogs pen or crate? Should they leave him alone?
When a dog goes to his pen or crate, he generally wants to chill out and be alone. Dogs need privacy, just as people do. And that’s a good way to explain it to your kids. It would be fine for them to peek in and say hi to their dog for just a moment, but this is good opportunity to teach them about respecting the privacy of people as well as animals.
