Bailey sleeps in her crate at night and goes for 8 hours without any problem (at 9 weeks old). We have never had an accident in her crate.
During the day if I am not home she is in her play pen which has her crate (open door) for her to sleep in, her basket of toys, a pee pad and her food/water. I havent left her longer than about 6 hours but she has been fine.
When I am home all her things stay in the play pen, I just leave one side open so she can come in and out. She either sits and plays at my feet or she is in the playpen, so she mustn't mind it |
