I purposely got Bella in June so that my 15 year old would be home during the day to help with the crate training during the summer because I knew it would be really hard to train her with us all at work/school. It worked great, she's 8 months old now and completely house trained (she doesn't even go during the day in her x-pen). I wish I could give you some advise, if you decide to crate-train just be consistant with the crate training in the evening and weekends and I'm sure eventually you'll see results, it just may take a little longer. Good luck!
