You are going to find many who love it, and I am one of them---then there are the ones that hate it. I will suggest that you read up a lot on crate training. It is a place where the animal loves. Not to be use for punishment. It is there little house. Maggie only uses her's at night. During the day, she is under constant supervision by either myself or my husband. We never put her in the crate during the day. If we need to go to the grocery store, then she has an exercise enclosure that she plays in, until we get back. She is now 4 months old and housebroken. She rings a bell on our back door when she needs to do her business. She is potty trained to the grass. When she was little it was outside every hour during the day, and every two hours during the night. It was pure hell, but we did it. It took two months of consistency, to potty train her. If you slack off, you might as well be prepared to start over. Now I'm glad we went the crate method. If you plan on crate training, then the crate doesn't train at all----it's will still be up to you. I hope this helped you some. In the end, it is still your decision. Whichever method you use, the key word in consistency.
