John Hohman Webboard User Reg: 02-16-2004 Posts: 328 Loc: Offline	You should be at the point soon where your puppy should sleep through the night without having accidents in the crate. Of course they are still young and if they have to go, they just will. I have had much success with crate training my 2 dogs and have followed some of the advice given in other posts on this board, such as picking up the water bowl by 8pm. Being patient enough to wait outside with my dog and make sure he goes to the bathroom for the last time before bed. Many times my dogs will go lie down in their crates on their own just to relax. I have tried blankets and such, but they just shred them. I don't think they mind the plastic trays. Ohno Von Kaykohl Land & Troll Vom Kraftwerk.

You can also cut a peice of plywood and drill holes in the side and attach it with heavy string or even plastic zip ties. As far as sleepin on the hard plastic, check out the cow mats. They cant destroy them and once the pup is older and stops chewing, you can add a nice crate bed type crate liner. I am not sure what age that will be because we are at over 1 and still have just the cow mat in LOL Good luck Ann
