Need expert advice before going back to work I have been at home with Bikini since middle of August and she is now 17 weeks. My boyfriend will be at home for the month of October but after that we are both full time at work. We have 2 kids so I know we will spend some time at home when they are sick and every summer for 2 months :) But meanwhile Bikini will have to learn to be alone. There is no choice if she wants to eat ( and me too). So I have 3 options: Her crate (like to transport her), I have a cage for medium size animal where I can put a pad and her bed or I have my small bathroom downstairs where she has plenty of room to move around, pee pee pad and her food. So for now, if I leave for a few hours it is her crate. If I leave for and evening it is the bathroom.... but Saturday we came back and let me tell you she had fun with her pee pee pad.... it was completely destroy. I know she did one poop and a couple pee pee before destroying it. She did nothing on the floor. I have not use the biggest cage yet.... What sould I do? I have to say that I train her to go outside.... And we leave for around 8 hours and a half for a day of work! Thank you in advance! |
Start with the cage, and if she does well with that move into the bathroom. Otherwise if you put her in the crate, she may end up resenting it. |
I would be as consistent as possible with her and just put her in the bathroom whenever you cannot supervise her. If she likes her crate you can put that in there with her, just leave the door open. Gracie sleeps all day When I am at work. I keep her in her "room", which is an ex-pen with her crate etc. inside. |
I'd try putting her in the bathroom with an Xpen at first. If she does well I'd let her have the whole bathroom. |
