I just got Venus a few weeks ago. Trying to crate train her. I learned a lot of what all I've been doing wrong so far by reading this forum!

For one, the crate was way too large, but did come with a divider, that I just put in.

For two, I had her food and water in it with her. No wonder she was messing it up so much, along with the extra room!

So these 2 things, I just fixed in the last hour.

I'd never crate trained a dog before, and was really concerned about comfort. So I put a hand towel in there for her to sleep on. She's been constantly "going" on it. I change it out, in hopes a clean one will give her something to sleep on.

Are you supposed to put anything at all for them to sleep on in the crate? She's been used to peeing and pooping on a hand towel, and seems now she won't even lay on it.
