Hi, I'm concerned you said you will be gone for 8-9 hours I guess work. If you’re gone that long the best thing would be to have him in a confined area. You may want to get a playpen one with the bottom. Then you can set it up with Water, food bowl and a wee wee pad on the other side. Put some toys in to keep him company while you are away.
If he is free to roam the house at such a young age he can get in to all kinds of trouble. Cord wires, thing falling over.. It's just too much to chance for a young puppy. Try using vinegar to clean up the mess, as he could be smelling the old scent. While you are in the home with him they suggest you keep him on a leash until he is trained that way you can catch him before he has an accident and take him to where he should go.
I hope this helps |
