Donating YT 11K Club Member | Crate Training 101 So since I have a new puppy and I never did crate training the first time around I need to know how to do it the proper way this time. So I have the crate in a little gated area...with her food and water bowl and she has room to run around..as well as the pee pee pads. The thing is she is going on the floor instead of the pee pads..should i decrease the floor space?

| The crate should be really small (only big enough for her to turn around, stand, and lay down in). Dogs naturally will not potty in their sleeping space (most of the time anyways!) You usually leave the dog in the crate whenever you cannot watch 24/7, take out to potty every hour or so just to start (when you're home) if she does not go... back in the crate. That's the principle of it anyways.

Donating YT 11K Club Member | Thanks. The crate is pretty big..very big actually for her tiny size but she hasn't peed in it. At night I lock it and she sleeps in it, then in the morning i let her out for the whole day..and after she eats i put her in that area. Also when im not home i put her in that gated area as well and it's all weewee pads

| when i first got milu. i put her in her crate at night. it's a little big for her. big enough to fit her bed in there plus a pee pad. so that's what i did at night. she would sleep in her bed and pee on the pee pad. so honestly, i never had to wake up during the night to let her out to go pee pee or #2. as for leaving your new puppy in an ex-pen. what i would suggest is putting her bed, toys, food and water in there. and for the rest of the area, cover it with pee pads. you can gradually take away some of the pee pads as the puppy learns that it is supposed to go potty on the pads.
