| I like a crate better as it is easy to attach to the x pen and you can take it any where.

| Since we used a plastic carrier/crate for Lexi, I put that in the ex-pen when I got it. What does your puppy sleep in now? |

Senior Yorkie Talker | I use a lareg metal crate that attaches to the xpen. Then Leo learned to climb on it so now I don't put it in there. So the crate I use for the out doors in the shade with his lead. He enjoys that because I put a bed in it and a few outdoor (rubber) type toys.

| She sleeps in her crate, which is in her ex-pen. I just put that in there because she likes her crate, and would go in it during the day on her own. So once I got the ex-pen, I thought she might like to go in her crate at times when I had to leave her in the pen. The houses are adorable, but they will not do for crate training. If you are going to crate train, you need a crate, whether it is metal or plastic. The house could certainly go in the ex-pen as a place to lie down when he/she feels like it. Or, the house could be used wherever you will keep your puppy - whether you confine it to the kitchen, or give it free run of the house - as a place to rest for naps. I've bookmarked the site - I just may buy one myself! |

when Avery was a baby and would stay in her xpen, when we weren't home.. she had one of her beds in there! i think its just up to you.. if you don't have a crate(and aren't planning on using one) i would buy the cute little house or even a bed. but i can tell you Avie loves her little enclosed beds.. she would LOVE one of those houses! it's up to you.. and is really just a preference. so my input would be the house/bed.
