Glad to read all the news on others attempts. My Yorkie "Shorty" stays dry and clean in the crate from 11-6:00am and cries and yips if he needs to go outside--during the day and free time outside the crate (and I take him out hourly or after each mealtime and play session) he is terrible. I never know what to expect. He will go outside, come in and 10 minutes later pee or poop on the rug. I can't believe he can manufacture that much waste. I think he saves a little each time to have something for inside. I don't want him in the crate 24 hrs. a day and just out for potty. Will it ever be safe to trust him for 2 hours to play and enjoy him? PattyO
