dog crates cheapest image

I'm looking for a site where I can find good deals on dog beds/crate mats. Between two puppies and an adult border collie, we need some beds for them, and moneys a bit tight.
I've looked at Foster and Smith, petco and petsmart online, and they don't really have any good 'deals', so if you know of any other sites I could look at, let me know please.
Thank you!

You might want to try Overstock.com They have beds and mats starting at $10 but the best thing about them is they're shipping is only $2.95 no matter how big of an order you place. http://www.overstock.com/Pet-Supplies/Pet-Beds/323/dept.html
How to potty train a dog quickly and efficiently indoors?
sloth
I am getting a 1-2 year old papilion from an animal shelter and I'd like the dog to learn where to pee **inside**. I think i have the basic idea from the research i've done. Constant repetitive watch and praise as it goes pee?
How long did it take you to potty train ur dog?
I am planning on getting a pee pan thing for dogs at PetsMart this week and have the dog pee there. When the dog pees should i pick it up and rush it over to the pee pan? and do this everytime so he gets the idea?
thank you
also what is kennel training?

I started out by placing potty pads everywhere in the room. When my dog would use the pad, I would tap on the pad to bring his attention to it, tell him what he did and give him a treat. I would get all excited and that would get him all happy and excited. When he missed the pads and peed on the carpet, I would gently and in a very disappointed voice, tell him that he was a bad boy. He went potty on the floor. I would tap on the floor so he knew what I meant and he did not get a treat. Each time he went on the pad, I would reward and praise the heck out of him. He learned quickly. As he started to use the pads instead of the floor, I would pick up a couple of unused pads and put them back in the container until there was only one pad left. He went straight to it. Then, after he learned, I put the pad where I wanted him to go and showed it to him. It took me one weekend to do this but, I did nothing else that entire weekend. I used Beggin Strips a treats. I broke them up into small pieces so that he didn't get too many in one day.
He's 15 now and always uses his pad. He never misses. He always comes to me barking for a treat after he uses it. Even to this day.
If your dog is a boy, don't get the pee pan. My dog stood in the middle of it like a good boy but, when he lifted his leg, it shot over the edge of the pan. If it's a girl dog that squats, the pee pan works well. My dog stands on the edge of the pad and lifts his leg but, never misses the pad.
In the beginning, it's good to use the more expensive pads because they are treated with doggie pheromones that attract the dog to the pad. Once they get the concept of using a pad, you can buy the cheaper pads without the pheromones.
Never yell at your dog. Just sound disappointed. It really works.
People will argue that it teaches a dog to pee in the house. It doesn't. It teaches them to pee on the pad. As for crate training, a lot of people keep their dogs in crates all night or when they are gone. My dog has never been in a crate and never will.
