This is my first pet EVER! Trying to do the right thing and get all my research done before the November arrival of Josie, our Beiwer Yorki. I will have numerous questions in the days that follow, but let me start with a Crate question.
We have one of the tiny plastic airline type crates made for a yorkie to try and crate train. I still have the receipt if needed to return, because our gracious neighbor said we could borrow her crate to save some $$. They have a Schi-poo. Their crate is 26" x 18.5" x 16 high, and of course mine is about half that.
I read that you want to go tiny so they can't do their business in one corner and sleep in the other. At the same time, like most, I feel guilty making him stay in that tiny yorkie carrier, maybe he would enjoy the extra room?
Should I Keep my tiny one, or return it and use the slightly bigger one. Anyone use a bigger one and not had luck crate training?
Also, Is the plastic one ok, or should I go Metal wire one?
Thanks
