Summit was 5 and a half when we got him, and had been crate free for about 2 years already in a previous home. He was our first dog and we rented so we crated him for about 3 months until we got to know him, and thereafter we gated him in our bedroom. He didn't care for the floor in the rest of the apartment anyway, so we never opened up the rest of the house. When we moved to a new place we gave him full run.
Kili is 2 and a half and still in a crate when we go out. She probably would be mostly ok, but I don't quite trust her and she loves her crate... so why not?
