Can you come home at lunch to walk him?
Let him wake up and let him out to potty. Go to gym, come home and do the walk then. If you can walk him at lunch then the morning walk doesn't have to be long. Odds are he'll go back to sleep when you leave for work. If he will potty without a walk, you can even do the walk at anytime of the day.
Will he be a baby baby? How do you plan to train him if you are gone all day? When Maggie was a baby I took her out after every nap and about 15 minutes after she ate or drank. Babies need to eat more often and I think I had her on breakfast lunch dinner schedule. It was like having an infant. If I worked full time I would have taken vacation time those first few weeks, maybe had hubby take some time if I couldn't take enough. Luckily I was home and she trained easily.
Sorry to say that it doesn't sound like you planned this out.....Puppies are a lot of work.
Also, you could move your workouts to the evening...... |
