In fact i can leave her on the bed for 15 minutes at a time to cooking and clean the house and never worry about her soiling it.
If I put her in the crate for even 2 minutes, she pees/poop instantly. She doesn't do it anywhere in the house! This would be a dream come true if the crate was actually a place to potty lol |
The problem with using the crate as a bathroom is if she ever needs to be left in one like at the vet, groomer or for safety issues. Being crate trained to me is pretty important.
