couldn't listen to him yapping all day or night in the crate.


I wouldn't crate him all day.

We would just crate at night. First at the bedside so that you could stick your hand in and pet the pup to calm him down, then on the other side of the room and then in his own room. Now, he loves to sleep in his crate.

As for the potty training, I would just watch him and make sure that you give him ample opportunity outside, treats, etc.

That was my plan, but I caved on the second night of that method.
You do recognize a schedule pretty quickly. Mine is a Yorkie so he's pretty small, but he would pee about every 40 minutes intially, and poop about 25 minutes after feeding.
I know a couple people that have trained them to ring a bell. I need to try that with mine while he's still young. Most of his accidents are near the back door because we didn't realize he was waiting by the door. The other times are when we get him back from a sitter after we take a trip and he's pissed at us.

I crate mine. Almost have to when we're gone. We wouldn't have a house left once we return from work.
