Yeah, those are great! If you can't get a hold of one, get 2 of the same size crates and remove the doors and push the two crates together on each side, basically the same effect but with a bit more wiggle room for the pup and less expensive. Or use a bigger pen with a bed on one side and potty tray on the far end of the other side but not like a big playpen, more like a whelping pen. Another thing that works, some people I know have done but not me personally, is if you are training them to go outside get a small vial of fox pee or deer urine like the kind hunter's use, can be found like at walmart. Spray it in a spot in the yard you want them to go and they will continue to go there to mark territory and it will become their pee/poop spot if all else fails. Pretty much all dogs can go on a potty pad, its about the method you're using. Better though to choose one or the other, when trying to do both pee pad + outside it confuses the dog and makes training way more difficult so best to choose one and stick with it.
