I crate trained my girl till she was 4.5 months. Now I gate her in my vanity area when I leave for work and it's great. She' got her crate (I took the door off so she can come and go) her toys, puppy pads and food and water. But she's gated. It's just enough space to romp a little but not enough for accidents. When I come home she gets access to the rest of the house (she is 6 months). But only while she's with me. I don't let her wander off somewhere. She is always in my site and her potty training is going wonderfully. |
