Sue, one of my little girls will nip at anyone who sticks their hand in her crate, other than me. She doesn't even like it when my other chi goes near there but she will tolerate it. She also doesn't like it when anyone manually puts her in her crate, she will growl if we do. She wants to go into her crate on her own. She is funny that way.

He sleeps and rides in the car in a crate. When we go to get in the car he happily jumps in the car and goes right into his crate. I am able to close the door without any reaction from him. If anyone else gets near him when he is in his crate he acts like he is going to nip them. He does not do that to me. My husband went to put him in his crate in the car and he balked at the door and did not want to go in, My husband pushed(gently) him into the crate and Scout nipped at him. If anyone would stick a finger into his crate he would probably nip. Other than that he is an angel! Should I have other people give him treats in the crate? What else would help? Thanks, Sue
