what is an x crate?? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Okay, i am new to this and i am getting my yorkie on friday.

I work at home doing medical transcription I will be able to get up alot BUT i really am trying to figure out the best way to train the pup.

I have this gate thing that i can add pieces too. I can make it big and i can make it small. Is that what you are talking about when you say x crate?? I also have a little pet crate, plastic, like for taking small dogs or cats to the vet. I am planning on using that with blankets and maybe putting her in a bigger crate during the day while i am working so she pees and poops on a pad?? then maybe taking her out here and there to pee and poop outside? Does this sound okay?

Definitely will take her out in the morning, after breakfast, lunch, dinner at night, etc. Just need to figure out what to do while i work.

I work in the kids playroom, so there is carpeting. I really don't think i want the yorkie in there all day, so i will probably keep her in the dining room not too far from where i am.

Yes they are the exercise fencing where you can add onto it....and definitely DON'T put your pup on carpeting. I just had to replace mine, it was totally trashed,,,just be sure to pay attention to him ever so often,,,they need alot of attention and love....at least mine sure does

thanks so much. i will not put my baby on the carpet unless i am right there with her. I cannot wait to get her. I am glad i have this gate from when my kids were small and now i can reuse it. That will work out awesome.

By the way, I love Wonderwoman! LOL. I had Wonderwoman Underoos when i was little. I wish they still made underoos.

It's their little 'space' and it's great for training them to go on the pads. You put their bed on one side, their food and water on another and the peepad in the middle i believe.
