What do you do with your puppy while your out? I have a bathroom that I leave my puppy in. I put up a gate instead of shutting the door. He hates it though. I could put him in the basement (finished basement but tile floor) but would that be wrong because it's such a large space? He's 10 months. Thanks |
Both of my male yorkies are gated in the bathroom as well and that's b/c they're still not totally trained. I would definitely give them freedom once they learn how to use the pad 95% of the time. |
I usually give my 9 month old puppy free roam of the house but he recently got LP surgery and so I have to confine him to my room which is small but I do leave him in my furnished basement when its really hot out. Just make sure he dosen't get to the boiler or anything dangerous. |
I kept mine in an xpen when they were little. They have free run of the house now. |
My dogs stay in their crates, but I'm an at home mom who's never really gone for more that 2 or 3 hours at a time. They also sleep in their crates at night, but otherwise have run of the house and yard. |
I kept Dezi (when she was not fully trained) in the laundry room with a gate. Now she is almost 8 months and its fully trained (no mistakes) and keep her in the kitchen area and the bedroom area. I have three floors in my house. I block off the family room area because she loves to carry her toys to that area and I am afraid she may get hurt running up and down the stairs. |
you said nine months right.. i think hes old enough to be in a bigger gated room. i had lexi gated in my tile hallway around 15 foot or so.. i put 2 wee pads in there with her toys and food and water. of course a fan, she was just fine.. now at 15 months, she has the run of the whole house and shes terrific.... |
Mine is housebroken and has free run of the house. I just slowly expanded her space as she proved herself to be trustworthy of having the added space. She never has accidents. |
Tootie Nootie has the run of the house now, but when he was a wee puppy he was in a gated area in the house (came home from work one day and he had somehow managed to escape and was sitting in the big recliner like he was King - LOL!). He's been loose ever since.:) |
I'm glad you asked this question, because I ask myself the same thing everyday. I usually bring mine with me to work & everywhere, except to run errands. I've thought about letting him run around my bedroom b/c its hardwood....but I have a couch in there & he just recovered from breaking his leg from jumping off the couch about 2 & 1/2 months ago. Granted, he was only 3 lbs then & now he's almost 4 1/2 lbs. What I do do is keep him on a leash (I use a harness, not a collar). I have the leash attatched to a dumbell & in an area where he can't wrap himself up around anything or jump on anything. Somebody tell me I worry to much & let my doggie be free:) |
By the way, I LOVE your avitar!! Your baby's winking face is too cute:) |

Lillie has a ex-pen and when I cant watch her she stays in it, her bed, food, water and a wee-wee pad is in it as well, she really dont mind being in it. I cant trust her yet to have run of the house, she enjoys finding things and putting them in her mouth! hmmm just like a puppy! lol |
mine stay in the kitchen closed off with baby gates or on our enclosed porch but i'm hardly ever gone any time at all. |
Until Joey was reliable, he stayed in the laundry room with the floor completely covered in newspaper. Now that he's trustworthy, he gets the kitchen/familyroom/laundry (ie the areas that don't have carpet) when I'm away. |
