That would be my best suggestion. Honestly, at 11 weeks, I would not even use a crate as 9 hours is so long for her and there is no way she's going to be able to consistently hold it so she is left with no choice but to poop and pee on herself. Doesn't that seem a bit cruel? Can you maybe use a small room and leave her pee pads food and water and some toys at least? |
Oooopps, good point about the doggie day care and not finishing vaccines yet, for some reason that didn't even cross my mind when I suggested it. Scratch that for now OP, LOL.
Stick with giving her a larger area so she can eat, drink, play and use a piddle pad.
