crate training w/divider - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I have been training my 5 month old Yorkie with potty pads and he is doing quite well. Problem is I do not like the pads on the floor as they are quite messy and sometimes he misses the pad.
I wanted to ask if anyone could give me feedback on these crates with dividers, has anyone tried these and had success with them.

I have read several reviews on those "Puppy apartments" and they were all great!

We use a crate with a divider with success, my personal choice of potty training.

Thanks for your replies, could someone give more info on this, as other people may also be interested in this type of training. My Beau has been
trained with pads on floor but I would sure love to change this, I have tried the outdoors but he doesn't want to use it outside, and yes I walk for at least 45 minutes, put his poop in the grass, tried everything I could think of, also at my age I do not want to spend to much time in the cold rainy weather.

Well after only 2 1/2 weeks the crate with divider is working, Beau started to potty on pad in crate and to my surprise he has also started using it outside, problem solved. Now when I can't bring him outside because of weather he uses it on pad in crate which I change often to keep his sleeping area clean.

Thanks, I am happy and Beau is happy, I purchased a 30" crate w/divider for this little puppy and split in half, which gives him a larger bed and larger potty area, he loves it. No more overrunning pads on floor, etc., happy, happy, happy.
