Macy is 18 weeks old, the only time I crate her is when me or my boyfriend are at work. So she is only crated three or four times a week for 8 hours each time. We work second shift, so I haven't been keeping her in a crate of a night because I don't think she should be in it that long. Well, her house training isn't going so good, I think it may be because it's so cold outside, she does a lot better when it's warmer, and not raining, or frost on the ground. But I don't want her to become accustom to going inside. So I guess my question is, should I crate her of a night? I thought about keeping her in the bathroom while we were out of the apartment, with water and a puppy pad. Anyway does anyone have any suggestions for me?
