Crate Training alternatives?
My mom and I are seriously considering getting a puppy. If we do get one, she will be a small breed (Yorkie, Maltese). We will be getting her from a shelter, not a breeder. I was wondering what some alternatives for crate training were. I have never liked the idea of crate training, because if I were a dog, I would just feel like my owner didn't love me and was locking me up. I know you are supposed to make your puppy love her crate, but I can't imagine anyone loving anything like that. I was wondering what some other methods of housetraining there were. For instance, I have been looking at this:

to put in my room to keep her in, with a bed and puppy pads. I know this wouldn't work for housetraining, but what are some alternatives? I like the idea of the play pen (see link), but I don't know how to factor housetraining into that. Thanks for any help you can give!
I would use a play pen then with pee pads if you are going to train it indoors. If not, then use the pee pads in the playpen for any possible missed signs of the pup needing to go to the bathroom. Take the pup out on a schedule. Once you have the pup for awhile you will know how often it needs to relieve itself.
