| X-Pen or Crate??? Please Help. Does anyone have any suggestions. Roscoe is 10 weeks and sleeps fine in his crate but during the day when he has to be in it he crys constantly. He is still being potty trained, and I've heard different suggestions about both........any help would be great. |

| I choose an X-Pen because of how long he is in it each day. Being in a crate for that long would probably be cruel. |

| he's in the crate for about 4 hours then I come home during lunch and take him to the bathroom play for a little and then take put him back in. About 2-3hours later my GF comes home for lunch takes him out to potty then puts him back in the crate.........then I come home after work about 4hrs later. The problem is that he continually has accidents and doesn't always potty when outside and he cries terrible when we leave. |

Missing Yoshi Everyday! Donating Member | a lot of people thinks that crate training is cruel...but in my opinion it is the most effective...i mean i do let them out while i am at home to play...and i also have a xpen setup for them to play while ii am supervising...but until they are fully train i will not give them much room to run around...i slowly open up the area but only little by little

| My Roxy is in the pen until my husband gets home from work (which is almost always before me). She is in her crate only at night for sleeping. In the pen, I put tons of toys, a bed and pee pads just in case she has to go. Oh and I leave a little bit of food and water.

| we used an xpen until Benji started climbing out of it. So now he is crate trained. I don't really think it matters. Whatever you think will be fine.
