what reddit should I post this in?

our dog is a year old and crate trained as a puppy within a couple of days. she is happy and comfortable in her crate and doesn't have any hesitation to go into it at night. she does not generally use it during the day but the gate is always open for her.

she has always been an incredibly well behaved dog and she has been allowed to stay out of her crate at night for a couple of weeks now.

should we be using the crate sometimes so that she stays trained and doesn't have issues if we need her in the crate? (ie when we camp we always kept her in it because the coydogs were so close and we wanted her to be safe. she was in the tent with us)

should we be crating her every night to maintain a routine?

sorry its so long
