Crate training can let your dog learn "when to release" and "where to release". (of course, where to sleep and when to go "in") U shall not lock him in the crate for too long hours. You may try to lock him in the crate for a period of time (say 1 hour) and then release him for pee-poo.... coz when they are still little pup, their bladder is so small and cant hold themselves for too long. Once they know they are going to be reliease for "relief", you may increase the crate-time so to train them to hold their pee-poo. But, at the same time, the crate should serve as their cozy-resting/sleeping area. If as u said, wanna have the no-carpet hallway with "fence" to keep ur pom, just make sure that's for the potty-train purpose, but not the place to let him sleep. As for dogs, the resting/sleeping/playing place should not be sharing with the same place as for their pee-poo area. it might end up they dun pee-poo "accordingly", or they just don't eat! as far as the concern of carpet, there's a type of handy vacuum to clean liquid dirts. it's quite a good product and really "vacuum" all the liquids, but u need to have the soap to clean the carpet too. So, it's a 2-in-1 kinda product. --I have Howling Bean and Lazy Mack.--
