I worked full time 8-9 hours but with a 20 min commute when I trained both my yorkies as puppies . I would come home at lunch to let him/her out. I tried puppy pads , the faux grass and attempted litter box training but crate training to outdoors always worked best for both Troy and Emma . I joke that Troy trained me bc I didn’t know what I was doing .

Emma is trained to go outside, yet if there’s snow and no where for her to go she will use a pad if I have some. I prefer outdoors so your floors are safe , House doesn’t start smelling “like dog” and it allows both of us to get some fresh air as I walk a bit at each potty break .

I’m fortunate now where I work from home so Emma has more human face time but it is certainly possible to have a dog and work full time .
