With crate training I'm worried that I'd cause her to take a step back. Specifically, currently she will not go to the bathroom in her cage at night when I lock her up, and she will always whine when she has to go out (not that often, maybe twice a week she has to go out in the middle of the night). I really don't want to do anything that will jeopardize her ability to make it through every single night without an accident.
I'm going to try pee pads in the home to see if I can get her to use them to stop the accidents in between our outdoor trips. She was trained on pads and the doggy door when we got her at 14 weeks (she's almost 19 weeks now), so hopefully it won't take her too long to pick the pads back up.
