I only kept Joey in a crate at night that was next to my bed. It was small enough so that he could stand up and turn around, but that's about it. I took him out evey 3-4 hours (he would cry) placed him on a pee pad,and put him back in his crate. He'd cry a couple more minutes. During the day he was in an x-pen with his bed toys and pee pads. When I could 100 percent watch him, I allowed him out of the crate with a pee pad within 4 feet of him. I've got to admit I held him alot the first 6 months, it was hard for me to hear him cry. |
