I've used them several times and never had a problem. Everything has always arrived, and my last order was here two days after I placed it (and that was close to christmas too).

When i put her in the crate through the day or give her some puppy alone time (even if i am home) she seems to howl and yelp alot, my concern is that she wont want to go in it at all. Will she adapt to it through the day or despise it altogether?

My 12week old is the same. If she's tired and I put her in the crate she is fine, but if I put her in there during the day, or even at night before she thinks shes ready for sleep, she goes nuts. Crying, barking, scratching, clawing, chewing her bedding and throwing herself at the door of the crate!

Have you done any crate training with her, or just put her in the crate and expect her to be ok with it? With Max I often put her in there for short periods (literally a few minutes) and let her out/reward her the instant she stops crying and settles down. The length and severity of her distress is slloooowwwwly lessening (very slowly!) but we've only been at it for a few weeks so I expect with extended work she will eventually settle down and learn to like the crate a bit more.

My 12 week old black pug stayed in the kitchen for most of the day on the tiled floor. Even in the afternoon when the room gets direct afternoon sun and turns into a sauna! Weirdo. I took her out for a quick swim in the afternoon which cooled her down a bit, but unfortunatly she thinks the fan is for playing - she loves doing that cute "bum up/chest down" pose whilst barking at it and growling, all the time with the tail wagging. At least she stands in front of it for a while!
