Not every dog is trained exactly the same. Our Italian Greyhound weighs 11 pounds. Many people train their IGs to go in Dog Litter Boxes or on wee wee pads. Because Spike has such a small bladder, she often coouldn't go for 4-5 hours at a time without going out. So when we first got her and crated her overnight - the solution was 1/2 litter box, 1/2 place for her to sleep. She would not pee where she slept so she learned to use the litter box. She is not sleeping in her litter box, and she never goes into it unless she needs to use it. Kind of like us and a bathroom. Typically - you only go in there when you need it. Now IG's are typically smarter than the average bear and this method works wonderful for them I would never try it with a Lab or a Husky or a Golden Retriever, etc. I CANNOT do this with our Greyhounds - quite obviously. Might work for a Chihuaha - I don't know.
