Should I remove my dog's crate after potty training for more space?

Question

Do most dogs use their crates most of their life? Zoey loved hers, once potty trained she has run of house and uses it very seldom the last 4 mo. Has a lot of "spots" she likes to be now. Don't want to take it away from her, but could use the space ( small condo), would like to relocate maybe......location of crate is key, correct? . advice please. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 1 year and 4 months old | 14 lbs

I think what you do with zoey's crate is up to you. I personally leave my crate in the house in the same location to allow my dogs a comfortable spot to lay if they want to. One of my dogs uses the crate often to take naps and the other dog never goes in hers. You could leave the crate for another month and count how many times Zoeys uses it. IF you find that the crate is being used often than leave it. If you find she never goes in it you are most likely safe to just remove it and get her a dog bed instead. Hope that helps
