Yeh, depends on how your house is set up AND the dog
I got this....
Amazon.com: Richell Expandable Pet Pen Medium... ( oh my how do you highlight , copy and paste)
Anyway it's an expandable pen you can have bed , pee area AND feed area all enclosed. But I thougt well she needs a PLAY area too , so one end does open for that and we put x pen up to that. ( Zoey is tiny so she doesn't climb or try to get out she just sits there and looks at ya like ....well I want out)
Needless to say she didn't PLAY in that area , she slept. Even if we were gone 6 hours.....so back to the expandable unit and since she is now almost 6 months she has the run of that room , playroom, ( when we are home)and does well on pads and bell to go out.
In meantime be diligent on pee training it does pay off, but they need to "mature" into it....we put xpen outside too for confined area to pee.
