You can use a dog crate for traveling AND for training.
They're great. We've trained several dogs using crates with great success.
Crate training in a grossly basic explanation is leaving a dog inside of a crate overnight. Dogs don't like to soil where they sleep and so they won't wet inside the crate.
Waiting, (and generally whining as loud as they can) for someone to open the door and let them out to go to the bathroom.
They quickly get used to the concept of notifying you that they have to go and so, after a few weeks, training is done.
Keep in mind, there's a bit more to it than that. You have to know how long a little pup can hold it before you expect them to go overnight. Sometimes they're just too young to control it yet.
But it doesn't take long, and it sure is nice to get into the enjoyment of dog ownership, and past the restless nights or smelly days of potty training.
Dog crates are also great for traveling.
And I don't mean just out of town. We use crates when we take our dogs to the vet because they get a little... well... excited. And with five of them at 60+ lbs each and all the focus their youth affords them... We can't think of a better way.
Our vet appreciates it too. *GRIN*
