I have two Jack russell terriers and unfortunately there left alone on weekdays for about 5-6 hours. I walk them as much as possible but I have some serious trouble leaving them at home. I leave them in the living room and the preparation involved is crazy, I put a gate up, move furniture, take cushions off couches as they occasionally wee, so now i'm considering getting a crate or pen. Should I leave one in crate and one out? Buy two pens? Leave them In same pen? I also feel I should get one as big as poss so they're not too confined or would it be better to leave them in one recommended for their size ( cosy ) ? I cant leave them in any other rooms and the living room setting up is so tiring. Any advice would be great, thanks

get a crate for each that is only big enough for them to stand up, turn around and lay down in. anything bigger is just room to poop. crate training is a fabulous way to housetraining. it should be started from when you get them, that is probably why you have such a hard time with them going in the house. without proper training in a cage a dog can't learn to respect the enviroment they live in.

How should I crate train my Jack Russell Terrier at night?

I know puppies can only hold their bladders for so long, but I don't want mine getting used to going at 2 in the morning everyday.

Crate training can be a great way to help with house training. You should make the crate a positive thing though. Dogs I know that are crate trained actually like to go in their crate, and will go in easily when you tell them.
The main thing about crate training is showing the dog that the crate is a good place to be.
The best way I know of is to throw a small treat inside, and hopefully the dog will go inside after the treat. If he doesn't then just guide him in, but don't force him to stay. As the dog enters tell him or her crate, or whatever word you want to use, and give him a lot of praise, and another treat or two. Let him leave when he wants. then repeat, telling him how good he is when he's inside. The crate should always be a plesant place the dog wants to be.
After he goes in on his own, you can try saying crate without the treat, and just praise when he's in. You can probably also try putting him in the crate at night after he's learned it's a good place.
Never ever put him in the crate as punishment, when he goes in there it's only for something good.
