I and Drake did not like the crate, I felt like I was putting him in jail. We bought the puppy playpen but I hated to zip him up in it so I put a gate up in the laundry room with his pen and bedding toys etc and covered most the floor with puppy pads. as each day passes we lose a pad so now we are down to 3 pee pads and he is doing so well. Soon we will be down to 1 and it is by the door so when we start training for outdoors. I did this with my prior yorkie and it worked great, we got to where she could roam the house freely and when she had to go she would go to the door and dance in circles, if someone didn't notice her she would then use the pad that we always left down. Good luck with your puppy.
