Why not get an x-pen. When you got the crate she should have been introduced to it gradually. She needs to view it as a pleasant place not a place for punishment. If she's never been potty trained and she's 3 years old it may take a long time or maybe not ever. Wherever you do keep her try to give her treats etc and make it a place that you can spend time with her even when you aren't going away for a long time |
