| I attached a picture of an xpen below. You can buy as many pieces as you want so that you can make it as big as you want it to be. You can also just keep it when you don't need it so it doesn't really get in the way. With the xpen you can put bed/crate/water bowl and pee pad in it and still have some space for the pup to move about. If your pup is not 100% pee pad trained yet, you may want to put the xpen on tiled floor. Its easier to clean. Just an idea.

| Try a small cage I don't know if someone else mentioned this. We have a 4 month old yorkie that has never pee'd the bed at night. We put him in a small travel cage, that is kinda of his home at night. This way the space is small, but not that small. He won't pee in his own bed, and i think most dogs are like this. If you give him enough space to sleep, he'll pee, and just go sleep at the other end of the bed, if you know what i mean. |

| Hang in there Congratulations on your puppy! I just got my little baby "Diesel" last Sunday. He will be 9 weeks tomorrow. Let me first say that crating is great for you and you puppy. I know that it doesn't seem like it now - - but it will pay off. I have a question. How big is the crate? If it's too big, you baby will poop on one side and sleep on the other. It's instinctual for a dog not to "go" where he sleeps. All he/she needs is enough room to stand up and and turn around. You may need to purchase a divider for the crate to accomplish this. I purchased a Midwest Crate for toy breeds from petedge.com which has a divider. I am certain if we didn't have the divider, Diesel would be doing the same thing. I've read alot in the past couple of months on crate training. The best quick and informative guide I've found is a pamplet by Dog Trainer Andrea Arden which is called 'Step by Step Kennel Training". It's straight to the point and includes "troubleshooting" if you run into common problems. You can access it here: www.ayorkiepuppy.com/potty.training.html. Good Luck! |

| There are plastic x-pens, too, besides metal. Here's a couple that are nice. Amazon.com: Richell 94115 Pet Playpen PT 900:... The one I have: Amazon.com: Iris 301515 CI-604 Commercial Grade... A wooden one: Amazon.com: Richell 94128 Mobile Pen 940: Kitchen... Another plastic one: Amazon.com: Iris 301514 CI-908 Commercial Grade... You can google and come up with some more expensive and some cheaper. Your choice. Or you can go to your local pet supply store and not have to pay shipping.

well, we tried that. We tried putting a divider to make the cage small just so she would have enought room to sleep and turn around and stuff, but she ended up going potty ALLL over and slept in it. So she was covered in it in the morning, so thats why we went with the puppy pad in the back and her bed in the front, cause we didn't know anything else to dooo?.... help, maybe? | |

| Hello Everyone! This is my first day/post on this forum. I have been reading most everything I can find as I am seriously considering purchasing a cute little Yorkiepoo puppy. The only problem I am having with my final decision is what I have been reading about potty training. I am retired and have the time to dedicate for this. It is the inevitable carpet accidents I fear. I am up to speed on crate training and understand the importance of a regular schedule. Does anyone recommend waiting as long as possible to adopt, knowing the older a puppy is the better they are at bladder control? Anything anyone can offer that would give me that final bit of encouragement needed would be most welcomed and appreciated. Thank you, and thanks for allowing me to be a part of this community. |
