So in the beginning I was seriously throwing in the towel with crate training, It is seriously a vital staple to keep your dog safe ...without it you can seriously not leave your puppies side. So I was willing to do that, ... I starting making all the shopping lists for the boyfriend ... only cleaning the house on the weekends along with laundry and all the other chores. Lol I was ready to dogmom 100 % but week 2 of having this little puff ball we decided, she just went outside to relieve herself, lets have lunch in our tv room while we just block the doorway from the kitchen to our tv room using her crate .... we did this , and we left her crate door open ....she walked in, watched us eat ...fell asleep in there and TA DAHHHHH TRAINED! since then we can leave her crated all night ... and multiple times during the day if we need to run into our basement .. or run to the super market ...and all it took was just leaving an open crate in a doorway but make sure it is after your pup had already relieved themselves ... this method was amazing lol and i really hope it helps someone else!

Glad that you found something that helped you out.

thanks ... and boy was it needed .. i feel like unattended pups can get into soooo much trouble!
