Crate-Training Max

Max has started crate-training last tuesday and so far he's doing great. His crate is set out in the living room facing the tv with animal planet on. He's whining much less and is very comfortable in his crate. I hope he becomes potty trained in the next few months. I want to try the bell-training. That way, where ever he stays, he knows to ring the bell to go outside to potty. I'll probably start that shortly.
