I have never crated or confined a puppy with all that I have had while I was home, I confined them to a small area while I was at work, when I was home they were out but in the area I was in so they could be watched, so I am not an expert on crates or play pens. However there are members that do use them. Is it possible to have the playpen in the room you are in, if they can see you this will usually quiet them down. It is when they cannot see you they start whining and howling.
