You can't crate her for 10 hours without a break. She was going in the crate because she was in it for too long.
You can crate her IF someone lets her out, then she's out the rest of the evening when you are home. You can't just crate her and leave her in there. There are professional dog walkers, who I would recommend over a neighbor (although you can't beat the price of a high schooler home on summer break). Our local dog walker charges between 10-15 dollars a day, I can't remember. A kid would be like $5. Otherwise you HAVE to do an ex-pen and not a crate, but it will take a lot longer. |
