I always crate my puppies when they can't be supervised and at night time. I find it makes it easier to potty-train them. Sometimes I will baby gate them off into the kitchen or bathroom if I feel I will be gone for longer than they should be in their crate for. Once my puppies are paper-trained/pad trained they graduate to freedom to roam. I have one adult who I always crate at night because she has a bad habit of eating poo and I need to supervise her more closely.
