yeah i have a boxer he's about 10 months old and 65 lbs. so far. i think he'll grow a bit more.

i got him when he was 7 weeks old and have done the crate training from the very start. when i leave the house for a few hours i do leave him in the crate, and he doesn't mind it or whine or anything. i have recently begun transitioning him to being out sometimes when i leave for an hour or two, but a vast majority of the time i'm gone he's in the crate.

i'm home most of the day though, as i do not work.
