She went outside, then came back in her crate and it was about an hour that she soiled, and she did the same one time yesterday morning. She isn't crated that often as we don't rely on that a lot because of the breed. My other bc I newspaper trained and she turned out perfect in that regard, well she was perfect in all areas! So will Elko, she's smart, she'll get it! Her crate is a medium size one, just big enough for her to stand and stretch. She uses it to sleep as she enjoys it but she is never crated with door closed for very long, maybe two hour and a half at a time.
