I would expect a 7 month old pup to be able to rest in a crate for a full 6-8 hours without problems. I'm glad she's resting. Could there be something that happens to get her worked up at the three hour mark? Like the mail truck coming at roughly the same time every day? The timed release toy machine can help no matter what the problem is (as long as she doesn't try to destroy it, which would be both frustrating and very expensive).
