Recently I stumbled upon an older forum post on Pets.CA where pet owners discussed what kind of items turn a crate into a den for dogs. Most people agree that crates should be dark, snug, and reminiscent of the den-like atmosphere that dogs are inherently accustomed to.
Toys, blankets, and treats make up the majority of the answers but from my own personal experiences, I’ve found several cases of hidden food. Dogs can be ultra sneaky and Benny the Beagle is no exception. Bones from a barbeque six months ago scraps of food paper from McDonalds or Taco Bell… His crate has become his hiding place for those secret treasures and since his crate was made into a home, he has preferred spending alone time in his own place. It is interesting to observe his behavior as the crate really becomes a place of comfort and solace for our pet.
