I have a 14 week yorkie. My husband and are both away from home for 8-9 hours a day during the week. I have been coming home 2-3 times a week during lunch to let him out. We keep a small plastic crate with bedding inside a large metal crate that is lined with pee pads. We are having issues with the smell. My husband wants to keep him in the little plastic crate because he insists that dogs will not go were they sleep. I think leaving him in the little crate for 8-9 hours is cruel because he is to young to hold it for that long. Does anyone have suggestions on what to do about the smell? Or suggestions on leaving him in a small crate for 8-9 hours?
