But once they are house trained I would reccommend using a xpen or something of that nature just to keep them in a small safe area but not something that is as small as a crate..thatway they can walk around..play ect..
and to add to that, when mine gets pretty reliable i'll block her off in the kitchen with baby gates and begin to slowly open up some of the house to her and see where she goes...start with tiled areas and baby gates and slowly let them have more free range of the home
