I keep Pheobe's crate next to my bed on top of my treasurechest so i can see her and she can see me. downstairs was her playpen (petsmart or petco) with her pee pad, food and water. Now she is 100% train so she sleep with us, but before she was in her crate at night, and in her playpen for few hrs at day, but for the most part she had (only by our supervision) the whole house. Now when she is alone she is in the kitchen (baby gate) with food, water, toysssss, music etc, but for the most part she go with us everywhere we go. She go potty outside, but she is also pee pad train, so i can, do whatever i want, (sleep longer, etc) and not worry that i need to take her out (in the rain, cold, etc). Hope this help.
