Feed her in her crate so she gets the idea that no one will disturb her and the crate is a safe place. When you have to shut her in, give her a special “crate toy.” Many people have had success with Kong toys stuffed with peanut butter or cheese/liver paste and freezing these.
The crate is also useful for confining the dog when it can’t be supervised to keep it out of trouble (see the first article above). My book, “Secrets of a Professional Dog Trainer!” which is available exclusively at Dogproblems.com, goes into more depth on the use of crates and other training devices.
