Welcome to YT! I got my pup at 6 weeks. I tried the x-pen thing and she hated it that first week. I then resorted to leaving her in the bathroom with her pee pad, dog bed, food & water. She did okay with that...only there was pee everywhere
. Now we're in a new apt so I had her spend time in her x-pen with me right there and she cried, but nothing like the last time.
This is Day 3 of her in the x-pen in the kitchen and I hope she's doing okay. I put her crate inside and hooked the door to the pen so she could go in and nap when she wanted. She peed on the pad like she was supposed to and hadn't figured out how to jump out yet so I guess all is good.
