My pup stays in my kitchen (with an adjoining laundry room) when I'm gone. He has everything he needs and doesn't make too many messes (just the usual). I'm not sure I will ever give him full run of the house when I go to work. I just think there might be too many ways he could get in trouble, do damage, or hurt himself. Of course, the minute I get home - he is out of the kitchen and has full run of the house.
This is all my pup has ever known - so it's just the way life is as far as he's concerned. It works for us!
Good luck!
