I have a 7 1/2 month old male. I'm trying to crate train. The past few days have gone great! Not one accident. I've had a few days off work. I go back tomorrow and I'll be gone almost 9 hours! He's in a crate that he can stand up, turn around and lay down in. No room for much else. I'm not sure how that will work being gone 9 hours without being let out to pee. I work 3rd shift so leaving food out is no issue. He should be sleeping and will stay on schedule with feeding. Is a crate for 9 hours cruel???
