Since I know that Rocco will not be able to hold it for 8 hours while I am at work, I am going to leave him in the laundry room with newspapers at one end for him to go on. He won't #2 but he will #1. Unfortunately, I think this will set him back somewhat. He really is so much better off when someone is home all day with him. But I don't really have any choice.
Here is my schedule with him....
4AM, take Rocco out to potty then right back in crate
7AM, go out for a walk/run - gets his energy out
7:30AM, feed Rocco then put him outside while I get ready for work
8:30AM, put him in laundry room while I am at work
5:30PM, come home and take him right outside to potty
Then we have playtime and just hang out until it is time to go to bed
9:30PM, bedtime - he gets put in the crate
It took me a LONG time to get a schedule together that works for both of us. Hope this helps!
