Question
HI again,  I have one more question.. I bought the large crate before I got Dixie and now I read that I should have a small one or block one end off.  I blocked half off for a three nights and she stopped whining and crying so I removed it and now it is large again.  She still TT's in it at night should I blocked it off again and if so, for how long??????????

Answer
Hi Tina,
Dogs don't like to urinate or deficate where they sleep so that's why you keep the cage small, so they will want to go OUT to do that.
You should keep it small for however long it takes you to house train her. If done correctly, she should be trained in 2 weeks.
Best of luck
