These little furbabies are soooo smart. It's not cruel to crate train your baby. I do it everyday and her potty training progress is excellent. She holds herself till I come home and she goes right on the pad. They actually feel very secure in there and don't need a lot of space. It can actually scare them. Imagine being in a place 1 million times your heigh and size?? They can also get hurt if they are left in the house alone, not to mention you will have a harder time training them. Of course every puppy is different, but I've spoken to many vets and breeders about this. They feel secure and safe in their crate, so don't worry. I am at work for 7-8 hours and she gets so excited to see me. It's the best part of my day. While I'm at work, I don't worry about what she's getting into, or if she's hurt and I don't know it. Just some advice for a new mommy, but like I said every parent and every puppy is different. Can't wait for your little girl to arrive so we can see pics.
