First of all, I would still crate your puppy at night! Puppies are going to get up and poop and pee. If you have a gate to keep your pup in the kitchen, then it will go everywhere!! What fun to wake up to......having to hunt and clean up under the table and chairs or maybe the china hutch !!!

Get the gate so the puppy stays in one area when you are in the kitchen during the day. If you have to go else where, the puppy stays in the kitchen until you come back. That way the poo and pee is confined to a more easily cleaned area, even though it will still be a big area.

But a towel, shirt, soft toy with your sent on it is a great idea.
How young is your pup anyway? Mine was 4 months old when I got her, so crying was not much of a problem. Babies under 3 months however, do have a hard time being away from thier mom and litter, so they will cry more and take longer to house train.
Good luck!
