Good questions
Before you begin.
Is a crate cruel?
Used well, a crate is a safe resting spot. Introduce it gently and never use it as punishment.
How long can a young puppy wait?
Not long. Young puppies need frequent breaks, and a trainer can suggest a schedule for your puppy's age.
Do pads have a place?
In a high-rise unit they may. Ask for a plan to move outdoors later.
What if accidents continue?
Check timing, supervision and cleaning. If problems last, speak with your vet to rule out health causes.
