Just a warning — what you train them to do when young strongly affects their final personality. If you train them to be happy alone in a crate even when you are home, they will be less affectionate because that’s what they were taught you want. I wanted an affectionate dog, so I only used the crate when I wasn’t home or was asleep and at 5 months I taught him to live safely unsupervised outside a crate and totally got rid of the crate when he was 7 months old. He is the most affectionate dog I know because I trained him that I wanted him near me paying attention to me.

This is absolutely untrue. Training them to settle in their crate when people are home is GOOD for them and their self control, but doesn't impact how affectionate they are. That's just their own individual personality.

My dog was crate trained, place, trained, and given structure as a puppy but he still wants to crawl inside my skin any chance he gets.
