You don't use the crate for a time out or bad dog... you use it to train the dogs bladder to be held overnight and for longer duration like work time....took me two weeks MAX to house train my german shep/lab..

keep the dog in there overnight, when you wake up, straight out door, go down with the dog and watch it go to the bathroom, praise him and go back inside... it wont piss/shit it's crate unless its way too big for it, dog's are den animals and keep their own space clean as best they can...
