Its good to know others in the same situation. We are new to the site, we have a 8 week old named Oso, we just received him 5 days ago, and we have started crate training. We only use the crate at night for bed and we are gone during the day. Hubby is home during the day, so it makes it a little easier. I take over at night with the training - Oso sleeps from 9:45 pm to 6:00 am in the crate

, then the house is his again.

- So he is out a lot during the day, takes naps where he falls, but when the hubby leaves on errands he goes in the crate. This is a great site!
