HI I have a cav pup who is now 20 weeks. There is great advice here for you. I simply popped her straight in the crate and shut the door that night and went to bed, I had to get up about about twice in the night when she called and as above just took her straight outside and placed her straight back in as soon as she toileted. I have trained her now with the Crate called Bed and what I did from the first day was everytime i called her in from outside ( through the day) . I would throw a treat in and say Bed. She now loves it and will always go in her crate if I am in the room or on command. I placed her straight in our down stairs laundry from day one, and she is fine. She has never had one acident in her crate. I would suggest having some kong puppy toys or similar in with your pup and something like a Bubby. Mine girl has a little soft monky that sqeaks. Good luck hope everything goes well, and stick with the create as you will not regret it at all. Oww forgot to add, don't forget to take the water away at night and put it straight back in the morning. I take it at 8.30 pm and put her to bed at about 9.30pm. I found this site awesome for info on all aspects of puppy. It might help. http://www.dog-obedience-training-review.com/index.html :D

Hi all. Thanks for the Reply. I will try and add some pictures I am hoping to get some better shots of her.The 2nd one looks like she is in jail , but it is a better picture of her face. She is a dream for sleeping once I put her down she dosn't whine at all. Think I am very lucky

Hi all , I am new to the forum. I have a new Girl, she is a Cav and is 11 weeks old, I have had her for just over a week. I have a Crate that she sleeps in down stairs at nigh and she has a Pen that she is keep in upstairs when she is with us. She is fantastic and has no problems with being shut in the crate all night and loves to spend her own time there even in the day. She has never wee'd or poo'd in her crate and lasts from 10.30pm, till 6am to need to go out for the toilet. With the Pen upstairs how ever she does sometime wee if we miss getting her out . When is it ok to let her out of the Pen and start giving her more freedom,I am planning on sectioning the hall and bedrooms where she will not be allowed. I am concerned she may start trying to get on the lounge or rip the curtains or go after my kids toys. She seems quite smart as I have been using the TOT from this site and she will sit and wait for her food and also pretty much wee's on comand outside. I have been teaching her to use her own cushion in the Pen as I want her to use one in the house rather than the lounge. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
