I will definitely try to do that...but if I'm not at home and I want her to be in the crate...what do I do? Do I just stick her in there? Or do I introduce the crate with the food inside for several days and let her go in herself....and come home and put her in 5 to 10 minute increments? At night, when she is sleeping, can I put her in there? If she is in the crate upstairs overnight, will she hold her pee long enough to get outside in the morning?

Also...we tried to crate train her when we first got her and she just pooed in the crate every day...and peed too.....now that she is better at going outside...will this happen? If so, does that pretty much mean the crate is no longer a good method of training her?
