What do you do with your puppies while your at work? My goal is to get a puppy during the summer but in case I see one that I just have to have now, I am curious what I will do during the day. What do you do with your puppy while your at work? I have always caged trained my dogs but it's been so long ago since I trained one that I don't remember how well things went. Especially if it is a smaller yorkie. What is the longest you have had to leave yours in their cage and how did they do? I know that every dog is different but I would love to see what some of you do with your babies. Thank you! |
I put Hannah in the hallway with all the doors closed and a doggy gate at the end. I put her potty pad, food and water, toys and bed in there. There is nothing there that she can get into. I just hope she don't poop while I am gone because then she carries it into her bed and burries it under her blankets...:eek: |
i take her with me. she sits in my office like a quiet little girl. sleeps most of the day. then we come home and she is a wild woman. |

yeah, i am very blessed. i hope it never changes. i started my own company and there are no code restrictions against me having a dog in the office so she goes with me every day. everywhere i go...she is my sidekick :) |
i get to bring my pebbles to work with me too. its nice to be able to keep an eye on her. shes the same way though... sleeps most of the day and is crazy when we get home. |
I only leave my two when I go bowling or grocery shopping. Sahara is only 9 months and stays in the bathroom with food and water, and Dennis has the run of the house now that he is almost 2. I have never caged them and they both sleep with me at night. |
sorry wrong forum |
When Eddie was a pup, he had round-the-clock care because the MIL was home when we weren't. Now, MIL's gone, but they're old enough to get the run of the house. I set 5 hours as a limit for alone time. Fortunately, I work a mile from home and can take them for a walk at lunchtime. I didn't crate train, but I've heard nothing but good things about it. Hopefully, YTers will let you know how long is OK to leave them in the crate. You might consider doggy daycare, especially while he or she is a puppy. |
Well im lucky, i dont work, so im with my girls 24/7. But when i do go out they sleep in my bedroom till i com back. They are spoiled rotten my hubby says i give them more time than him. hehe... |

The moment N'Stein came to my house I've trained him to stay all alone. Of course at the beginning I left him in his little private room (his cage). When he was able to do his #1 and #2 on his training pad he had all the apartment for him. Now he is able to stay alone without any problem and he just sleep. And when I'm back we of course have to play a little. |
Mine stay in their bedroom when I'm at work. |
I'm also lucky to be able to take Maggie to work with me. She even goes to Curves with me after work and all the women go crazy for her!! I think I am one of the lucky ones! |
i also leave mine with the bathroom open and the hallway in front of the bathroom then put up a baby gate for him at the begining i did not put up the gate and let him run loose then that's when the radio wire and internet wire got chewed up so after that i started putting up the baby gate. He's good thoug i unfortunatley have to leave my baby alone for quite a while i leave the house at 8 and get back at 6 i know some may say that's a long time to leave my baby alone but unfortunatley i have to go to work to make money to buy him toys and clothes and and all that but he's good. He's happy when i get home and i know that he's ok i leave him toys, treats water food the works |
I'm very interested to find out what carriers you guys have that you can take your babies. I work at a doc's office so I can only take them if the docs are both out. My shih-poo gets a little car sick and I work 30 mins from home. He doesn't throw up until I pull in the parking lot, but it's happened twice. I always thought he was so good in the car, now I know he's just too terrified to move. My yorkie LOVES to go bye-bye. They stay out in the house while I'm at work. I'm a total sucker. I leave the TV on for them. I'm convinced they sit on the back of the couch and police the neighborhood. I'd love to get a doggycam. I've been having trouble with marking so it's probably not the best choice, but I've started it, and feel guilty about changing now. I'll try belly bands. |
I brought a large wire crate (36" x 24") for my furbaby. I have one side with his bed & toys the other side has a water dish and a pee pad. I am away from 8:00 to 5:00. I come home one hour for lunch take him for a potty break, walk & feed him . He seems to do okay, I either leave the tv or radio on. I would like a doggie cam to record and see what he does all day. I really think he enjoys his time alone. On the weekends he seems so tire by the end of day when the family is at home. |
Gracie stays in her ex pen with her toys, food, water, pee pad and crate. I think she sleeps all day because when I get home, everything is as I left it. Once in a while I will see a toy out. She used to shred her pee pads but she has pretty much grown out of that. I try to take her to the office with me once a week, and if I am on the road all day and have appointments where it is safe, I take her with me. Like tomorrow, I have to drive about 45 miles to pick up some records for a file. Gracie will go with me. She likes visiting with my clients and they enjoy her as well. I plan to start sending her to doggy day care once a week once she is past the puppy stage and will be better tolerated by the older small breed dogs there. At home she is really not alone as she has 4 cats to visit with and bark at! |

I can relate. Izzy is left alone all day from 8:30 to 6. I leave him in my bedroom with his toys, food water and crate. I believe he sleeps all day too. Just like you, I have to work to make money. I hate to leave him, but he is fine when I come home. I play with him and let him cuddle up on my lap when I'm watching tv. |
If my boyfriends at home, he chills w/ my boyfriend. If he's at work and I gotta work, then Rocky goes in his crate because he still has an occasional accident. Usually our friends will come and play with him if were going to be gone for a while. |
