I use a great dane sized crate. Bed at one end, washable pee pad at the other. I don't agree on the tiny crates where they can't hardly move. Yes, they might teach them to hold their bladder a little faster, but if they have an accident, they have to lie in poop or pee until you get home. Then you have a messy upset dog and you have to clean a crate, wash the dog, do laundry, etc. I like the dog being able to use a pad if needed and then go back to a snuggly warm bed to sleep.
Ex-pens or playpens serve the same purpose. I just had a giant dog sized crate and that works for us.
