A few weeks ago, my husband suggested that we put the crate inside of the Xpen. I thought he was crazy.
But after researching here, I found that it is actually done. Now that I think about it, it is a great idea. It would definitely save space b/c it seems like her stuff is all over our living room!
I would like to start doing this. So far, she has been crate trained and rarely has an accident. We leave her in there while at work and/or at night. She sleeps in there. She's in her Xpen at other times. Here, she eats, plays, lounges, etc. Sometimes, she will have accidents and pee/poop in there.
Tonight I put the crate in the Xpen just to see how she would do.
I was wondering if I should leave the door open so that she can go in and out freely. Also, we usually leave newspaper and a small rug in there for her. She has pulled it all out to play with.
Do you leave newspaper in your crates? Should I leave her toys out of the crate so that she learns that the Xpen is her play area? I plan to leave her food and water in the usual place in her Xpen. I just have to get this potty training thing down. I plan to buy a litter box tomorrow.
Thank you in advance!!
