Hello Everyone!

I am going overboard on trying to figure out everything there is to know to train my new furbaby! If all goes well, I will have him this Tuesday and he will be 12wks.

I want to litter train him and crate train him for sleeping at night. So, my plan was to gate off my kitchen which will have the litter box, his crate, toys, food and water, etc. Although, I am off work all summer, so I'll have to make errand runs to get him used to being in that area.

So, when I go to bed, I will want to put his crate in my bedroom but what does he do if he needs to relieve himself?

Should I move the litter box into my bedroom at night and leave his crate unlocked, hoping he will use it?

The only tiled floor in my condo is in the kitchen, even my bathroom is carpeted (not my doing)!

I have also ordered wee wraps from Lorene and wonder how to incorporate those into all of these potty training methods?

THANKS FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN OFFER!
I'm over-nesting at this point...my family thinks I'm going a bit nutz.
