Hi, I have a 17wk old Yorkie and a 14wk old Brussels. Both boys, (plus a Cairn and Westie females, grown). I have the boys each in a fold away open crate with a pee pad, sleep pad, food, water and of course toys. They are right in the living room where all the action is. When I take them out of the crate they go right outside. I keep them in the crate when I am cleaning house, or tending to the fids but when I can sit and watch them they are out. I think the girls have helped the process as the boys just follow them outside. The boys sleep in their own carriers in the bedroom at nite. I thought about crating them together, but I don't think its fair for one to step in the others pee or poop so their crates are side by side. So far, so good but it takes patience and being consistent. Good luck and don't give up.
