Can somebody provide me with some helpful information on crate training. We have a new 13 week old English Bulldog puppy named Pippa. Would it be detrimental to the indoor crate training to leave outside and unattended in our fenced in back yard. This 1st week has been rough on us and I certainly don't want to do anything to take a step back. This is what I am currently doing. We take her out atleast once an hour while we are home. When we are not home, we leave her in her crate. We only leave her in the crate for 2 hours at the longest. At night, she is put in her crate to sleep. I get up every 2 hours to let her out. This is what we are currently doing. How long will it take before we see great progress? Thanks
