Ok from all of your advice I've kinda come up with two ideas for the puppy during the day while we are working:
A. Put up baby gates to the two entrances/exit of my kitchen. Let him stay in there during the day. Gives him a big area, keep toys, food, water and pee pads.
Pros - its a wood floor so easy to clean up any mistakes. Theres nothing he would be able to get to that would hurt him or he could hurt.
Cons - This would be a pretty large area and I would worry about him knowing or remembering to go on the pads
B. Put up the ExPen in the basement (one will not fit in the kitchen) and keep him in there during the day.
Pros - Still gives him good room and food, water, toys and an area to go potty
Cons - This is away from the area we would want him to go potty while we are home. I worry he would get confused.
What do you guys think would work best? Or do you have aother ideas? Thanks so much everyone, you're really making this much easier for a newbie lol! |
