I have a small crate from Big Lots. It probably is big enough for a 20lb dog, while mine is 3lbs. When she was smaller I made the crate 1/2 the size with a cardboard box. Basically I just shoved it in there and created a "wall" so she didn't have room to sleep and pee.

She has reverted a few times, so we had to recrate her for like a week. She loves her crate, and she goes in there when she wants to sleep... So her crate is her bed and when she needs to be confined we re-confine her at night or in the day so she can have a refresher on holding her pee.
