The cozier, the happier the pup is. :-) It’s a great way to create that den-like environment for your pup. The cozier, the happier the pup is.

My new puppy is a schnauzer yorkie and he sleeps in his basket. Our crate is being borrowed by a friend whos dog has heartworms :( ANYWAY, It's not cruel. Make sure he can't chew it.

He's 7 now and still sleeps with his sheet unless it's really hot. Good job for figuring it out on your own! Our vet told us to try it :) Good luck with your pup!

I think it makes them feel cozier and more confined in the dark, small space. Or maybe it lets them know that it's time to sleep, like when bird owners put a cloth over the bird cage. I don't know why, but it often does work, and it's perfectly harmless. :) No, that’s perfectly fine, I did the same thing a couple times.

I used to put a big towel over my puppy's crate when he was a baby. Worked like a charm. There's nothing wrong with it. Just make sure if he gets up in the middle of the nite whining, it may be because he needs to go out so don't ignore him then. No it is not a stupid question.
