[LIL MIS' MAGIC]

I totally agree with the others...you have to do with want works for you...we didn't crate trained either of our girls...with Magic we kept her in the kitchen until she was pretty much trained and now she has free roam of the living room and kitchen but we have a gate up to stop her from going to the bedrooms and she quickly learned to go outside...Sailor immediately had free roam, living room/kitchen, and learned to use pee pads and not outside...we personally did not like the idea of a crate, but I know that it has worked for others...every puppy is unique and will learn on their own time, you have to go with what works for you and your Louis...
