Morgan has slept in her crate from day one. Her crate is in my room near by bed. I didn't give her the option of pee pads. I gated off her crate and only gave her enough room to go in, turn around, and lay down so over all her crate was 1 foot by 1 1/2 feet to begin with. Morgan was a great puppy to crate train. She would whine for the first couple nights around 3 or 4am to let me know she had to go. So i'd get up and take her outside then put her directly back in the crate and go back to sleep. Then i'd usually have to get up again between 6 and 7. She NEVER had an accident in her crate and i can count the number of times she's peed in my house on two hands (these were only when she was a puppy and they were my fault for not taking her out sooner). She's now 1 year and 7 months old, completely housebroken and crate trained.
