I was wondering if it would be okay for me to use a very large crate to crate train my puppy in?
I was thinking that I could make half the crate a designated sleeping area for the pup, with a bed and blankets and so on, and the other half of a crate, place a few pee pads down. Especially while she is a puppy and at night I know that she wont be able to hold her pee that long- but I want her to learn that if she's going to go ANYWHERE in the house- its gonna be in her crate, on her pee pads. I was even thinking of putting the bottom of a littler box in the crate with the pads inside.
Bottom line is I'm not planning on using any pee pads around the house- i want to train my dog to go to the door and to do her business outside.
But for the mean time, while she is a pup, do you think it will be ok if i split her crate up and make half where she can use the pee pads when she cant hold it anymore?? do you think this could work or will it confuse her too much?
