Just today I set up the xpen and Reese ( 1 yr old yorkie ) and Reagan ( 12 week old shihtzu ) - right now they are in there so while I have things to do and can't be right on top of them they are confined. They each have their own crate with the beds inside -
I too was so sick of having my house be "pee" central and puppy pads all over the place......( kind of embarrassing when you get company )
So now they will stay in there until spring when I will try to potty train them both to go outside ............( worth a shot )
When I do let them out to play with me, they will be with me and not aloud to run around the house freely.
I too feel like this will never end........I feel like I just " want my house back " with no crates, pens, etc......... but I am confident with persevirence and consistency someday they will be able to run free ...........( here's hoping ! )
