I leave Teddy in his crate from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. at the longest stretch. 6 a.m. is when I wake up for the day. Sometimes, he digs a little and scratches his ear which lets me know he needs to pee in the middle of the night. So, I just take him to pee and he goes straight back to his crate and sleeps again until 6 a.m.
I'm glad he's doing well in the crate. Sometimes, dogs just feel safer when they are in smaller spaces and it alleviates a lot of problems! Well, that has been my experience anyway. The rest of the day, Teddy is under constant supervision or tethered to me, due to marking, but that is a separate issue to yours!
