Sounds reasonable to me, too. Yes, there will be times you need to keep her away from trouble when you can't supervise. As she gets older, you can train her to stay away when you are cooking (if that is your wish) rather than being underfoot, and hopefully you can begin to trust that she won't get into trouble while you are distracted. The problem is when people constantly use the crate instead of observation and teaching the dog what is acceptable. Pups cannot learn the rules of the house whilst confined to a crate!
Plz help- will pee in his crate when locked!

i just recently got my B, and the first night i had him,
i locked him up into his crate, said goodnite and went to sleep,
10 minutes later, i come into the room and find him in his own pee and poo,
with his paws between the wires of the carte!!!:eek:any suggestions on good behavior for this???

When you have a new puppy, there is an adjustment period… first, I keep their crates in my bedroom so that if a pup needs to go out, I am able to hear them and get them up and out... Also, did you make sure that he pottied first? Had he ever been in a crate?... They don't just take to coming into a new home and then being locked in a crate without some "crate training"....
