I think a medium would suit your dog just fine! But please look for yourself!

A dog should not be put into one of these crates for outdooors at all. You may want to look into a outdoor kennel they have them at Home Depot.

How can I train my dog to have "accidents" in a more desirable place>?

My indoor dog is 3.5 years old and she is great. She rarely has accidents in the house. While I fully expect accidents, I need to know how to train her to use a certain place in the house for those accidents. I am patient and I know this takes time, I'm simply looking for technique advice.

Answer
I use a special treats as a reward (one that he normally doesn't get)... the dog only gets it when he/she goes OUTSIDE.

I start out by taking the dog outside, and saying "go pee" or "go poop" over and over. When the dog goes, then I carry on like I the Publishers Clearing House Prize Van just pulled in to my driveway!!!! And, I give the treat right there on the spot!

It's important that you pay very close attention to the dog. Keeping it leashing inside with her will help with this. If you can't be right there, then you should crate the dog.

You should take the dog out frequently. If you doesn't know what times he/she generally needs to potty, then keeping a log might help.
