I have dealt with the same problem you have - I work. And - it's winter and cold here, so we don't go outside.

There is nothing I can do, but keep my puppy confined in the kitchen when I'm gone. I don't feel bad doing this. It's large and he has everything he needs - toys, a bed, food, water, and pee pads.

I purposely got a male - so that I can use the belly bands. If he's running around the house (which he is doing most of the time when I'm home), I slap a belly band on him. I check him often and if he hasn't pee'd, I take it off and take him to his pad. Sometimes he pees then and sometimes he doesn't.

We're doing the best we can. At least between his being in the kitchen when I'm gone and his wearing a belly band when he's running around the house - the carpet is safe.

Little girl dogs and diapers just don't work for me.

Good luck --- Carol Jean
