i couldnt keep crating snickers... i have one and had full intentions of crate training but she would cry (which i figured would eventually stop) but the thing that upset me is that no matter how small the crate was she was still pottying on herself- and THAT i couldnt live with and it didnt stop
i know they say they wont go where they sleep maybe she was the exception
so i gate her in my kitchen w/pee pad litter box and food/water and her bed
i know this prob isnt helpful but that was my experience with it
