Crate training is often the best way to train a dog. I do not see ant flaws in it.
I think you should probably never end crate training. What's the point of crate training if you take away the crate? The point of a crate is to be able to go away and you don't have to be worrying what your dog is doing. Hope this helps! Have a nice day.
In my opinion you should start with the dog crate next to you, and start moving it away from you little by little.
All breeds have the potential to do well with crate training. They will howl and bark ad whine for the first few days or about a week, but after that they should come to think of the crate as their bedroom. It will make it easier for the dog if you give then a treat when you put them in the crate so they know they are not being punished.

If your puppy (or dog) is in need of potty training, the best method would be to paper train him. Crate training can be used at the same time you're paper training him. While you're away, putting your puppy in the crate is a good way to keep him from wetting (or "going #2") on himself. Puppies don't like to wet themselves, and will try very hard not too. So it is important to get a crate small enough so that they don't have room to go in one corner of the crate and then be clean in another corner. You can find out more about paper and crate training in a google search. You'll get tons of helpful websites. The website in related has information of both paper and crate training in it.

Crate training can be an efficient and effective way to house train a puppy. Puppies do not like to soil their resting/sleeping quarters if given adequate opportunity to eliminate elsewhere
The solution to that is a solid program on crate training. A crate can really be a comfortable den for a dog if you do it the proper way. Here's more details, http://dogtime.com/housetraining-crate-training.html
Crate training is the easiest way to housetrain dogs, and it also teaches them how to settle down and entertain themselves when you're gone. However, crates won't work if they're used to punish a dog or keep him "out of sight, out of mind." Use the crate only when necessary, give your dog plenty of breaks to stretch his legs and to play and bond with you, and make crate time more pleasant by stocking it with toys.more information:http://dogtime.com/housetraining-crate-training.html
If you were my client, first question I would ask you is in regards to the size of your crate in proportion to the size of your puppy. Unless a dog is sick or has been left in a crate for an extended period of time (more than 6 hours) most puppies will not potty where they sleep. If your puppy is in a crate that is too large for him, he will have the freedom to use the other side of the crate than he sleeps to relive himself. During puppy crate training, the crate should only be big enough for the puppy to stand up, turn around and lay back down. Some larger crates come with a divider so the crate can grow with your puppy. Also, the puppy should be in and out of his crate during the day, teaching the puppy that the crate is a safe place. For example, when you can't have your eyes on the puppy 100% of the time (doing chores, taking shower) the puppy should be in his proper size crate and should be rewarded when he enters the crate with either affection, or small treat. This will teach him that the crate is a good place to be.
Any dog can be crated, as long as the crate is big enough for them. You do not want to put them in a crate that is to small where as they can not get up and turn around in.
Crate engines can provide power to any type of car. A crate engine is very powerful. A crate engine is much more powerful than a regular engine as it produces much more horsepower.
