I also think people have to realize these are small dogs, small bladders and bowels. GEtting them to hold it too long can do irreparable damage. Ever think of that? Try drinking a couple of cups of coffee and locking yourself out of the bathroom for 8 hours, see how you would fair.

Keep them in a crate all day while at work they get to look at four walls of a tiny crate. Heck of a way to spend a day after sleeping in the crate all night.
