I have a six month old newfie named Joy.  About a month now she has been sleeping out in the garage because she was waking us up for play time and a potty break in the middle of the night.  She is crate trained, but would still bark to get our attention in the middle of the night.  Our breeder told us to remove her from our room where she was crated and put her in the garage where we couldn't hear her, crated.  It has worked.  We miss having her in the house but she has never soiled in her crate.  We have had her since 8 weeks and have had her crated at night and through the days for naps and whatever.  I am a strong believer in crating dogs.  It works.  They won't make a mess in the crate, that is there bedroom.  I leave a water dish in her crate at night. My breeder told us that she should stay out in the garage for about a month then bring her in and try it again, if it still doesn't work, then back to the garage.
We also have a Rottweiler and he has been crated, he loves his bed, he escapes our newf by going to his bed.  She loves to antagonize him.
