Some of us don't have all day to potty train so penning is very useful. My husband is hardly ever home to help. Thats why she is with me. I don't have small children but I know some on here do and I know they can't consistantly keep and eye on the dog.
Plus most books say to confine your pup until potty training is finished. When mine doesn't have accidents or they are few and far between then we can talk about freedom of the house.
