I just got her Sat. I took the week off for "puppy maternity leave." When I go back to work I'll have to leave her. I'll come home at lunch. So she'll be by herself from 8:10am-2:20pm, then 2:35pm-7:15pm. So that's like way too long to hold it.?
So I guess I should pee pad train her-I don't have a choice. I've been taking her out and she's been going outside.
So my question is should I put the pee pad in half the crate and she sleeps on the other half, can't put the divider in then. Or put my pen up and have the crate in there and the pee pad on the outside? It's such a large area and she's only 1.8 pounds. Also, what about when I go to someone else's house with her, how does that work? Won't she pee on a rug or something then, since she doesn't go outside? And finally, after she's like 6 months old is the transition from pee pad to outside pretty simple?
Thanks!!!!
