Hi there
I understand your frustration yet I suggest you crate train .
When I worked in an office my hours were similar to yours as well as having a young child to get ready and out the door by 730.
Wake up 6am
Puppy potty 615
While you get dressed let the pup play, eat in the playpen
By 715 puppy potty
730 you leave for work
Crate your dog
If you have a walker or your husband is home, puppy potty mid day
Crate
You arrive home 430
Puppy potty and play and food
Take out every hour until bedtime
Crate at night
No water intake after 8pm.
The frequency and consistency will help you with training. Tools that helped me , if I gotta go take the dog out too , add a “ take the dog out reminder” in my phone, make sure the crate is the just big enough for the dog to stand up and turn around .
I don’t like pads yet I know lots of folks use them but try to be sure you’re staying consistent with your option and praise your pup when he pees and poos.
