[QUOTE="donna723, post: 535455, member: 1883"] I had to keep my dogs on a schedule pretty much like that when I was working but mine were grown dogs then, not puppies. And on top of that, mine don't all get along with each other and had to take turns being out of the crates. I didn't like it but there was really no other choice. I worked full time and had almost an hours drive each way so there was no way I could come home during the day to let them out. Have you thought about getting an X-pen to put the puppy in during the day? That's the little flexible play yard fence things you can put up inside and line with newspapers. They're not as confining as a crate would be and you can put a little bed in there for it to sleep on and some toys to play with. It would be really hard to potty train a small puppy though if you have to confine them all day unless there was someone there to take it outside every couple of hours or so. An adult dog can usually hold it that long, a small puppy can't. [/QUOTE]
