Your best bet would be to crate when you can't watch. I use ex-pens. They are larger. Also use washable pads. I have two girls that are 10 and 11 yrs. old. About two yrs. ago I joined YT and leaned about ex-pens. I was also having trouble with the girls when I would leave. They both come from horrible backgrounds and have issues. They have adjusted. If you have trouble with your furbaby trying to get out of the ex-pen, you can always put something over the top....pin a sheet tightly over or get some tiny lattice work trim and zip-strip it on one side like a hinge. Hopefully someone else will post and have some better suggestions. Don't claim to be an expert. Welcome and enjoy YT.
