This system was working for us. Yay us!
Now the problem is the crate itself has some issues and I am seriously thinking of switching to a pen for her, but my question is when will I know when she wont need anything? Should I go out and buy the pen (it will be in my bedroom where the crate originally was) or should I try to see if she can go without it? I would hate for her to pee in my bedroom while Im sleeping!
P.S. I dont really like her taking up residence under my bed either! I dont know what she can be doing underneath it and I dont have any way to block off access to it..Grrrr... |
If you did get a pen would you put the crate in it? Just so she has the security of her crate but with the door being open can come out when she wants to?
I agree with being under the bed. I always say that Gizmo treats it as his personal toilet if he could. But I would try getting the pen and putting the crate and another comfy bed in it and see which she chooses and go from there.
So happy she's been good for crate training. Wish Gizmo would have taken to it so well
