Murphy - 2015-03-10 5:34 PM rodeomom3 - 2015-03-10 6:28 PM I would get 2 if they are going to be alone that much It's an English a Bulldog puppy so I can barely afford one! Lol. I think I can put her in the bathroom while we are gone, but I may get an oversized crate instead. Not sure yet. Guess I have time to figure that out! Still gotta convince my husband ;)
Yes!!! I think there should be a national "Bring Your Puppy To Work Day"....  |

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | Puppys are like human baby's they have to potty a 100 times a day, lol... So leaving them in a crate all day would be unfair to them I think.  |

I know it's the most ideal situation. Unfortunately! |

Location: Texas | TwistedK - 2015-03-10 12:12 PM For the first few months I would go home at lunch and let the puppy out of the crate and run him around for about 20 minutes. When he was about 4 months old he started staying in his crate all day. Then after work we would play really hard so he would sleep. At about 8 months old we started leaving him out of the crate at night too
^^^^ This is a great idea!
Your still teaching him to TRY and hold it but still being realistic.
The only problem I ever see with leaving puppies in confined areas or rooms, they can and will chew on the baseboards, scratch the doors and walls. |

Location: California | When we got our lab puppy, we built him a kennel outside with a cover. He had a crate inside that he could go into to lay down if he wanted, and he had toys and water.
When the weather would get bad, my husband or mom would go over and put him in his crate in the house. I don't think I could leave a puppy in a crate all day. I just don't think it's fair to them. |

Location: Kentucky | I can't come home at lunch and I can't get two. I also don't think I would feel Ok leaving an Englihs Bulldog outside while I'm not here. Even if its in a barn or kennel.

I have also seen where they use the wire fence above with pads in it and then a "house" with their blanket and bed in the crate.
Can't you leave it in a stall? When it is warmer? We did the wire fence with the crate outside for ours when she was little.
I put mine in a stall when it got warmer and that worked great! |

Oh, she is adorable, I would be worried too about leaving her confined outside somewhere. Get a different 2nd dog that is less money, I know they are much happier when they have a buddy and they will still be as attached to you and your hubby. They get lonely by themselves all day. |
