Can someone tell me how to set these check boxes to checked? I\'m sure it\'s simple, but after an hour of trying i think I need to ask! Thanks!

Building on the answer by Sali. Strangely, the check_box_tag returns a checkbox with no label text. Here's how you can display text if you're iterating over an array.

- Puppies.each do |puppy|
  = check_box_tag(puppy.name, puppy.name, puppy.goodboy?)
  = puppy.name
