[quote=Anonymous]Hi op! I worked a similar schedule when we got our puppy years ago. I crated her when she was very young. I was also able to come home after she'd been home alone in her crate for about 3-4 hours. I'd quickly take her out, give her a treat, and then leave. I'd be back a couple hours after that. I did this 3 or 4 days a week and 1-2 days she'd only be home alone 3 hours. As she got older and we built more trust, I'd leave her out of the crate while I left for 15-30 minutes at first and slowly build up to leaving her home alone out of the crate for longer and longer periods of time. We got rid of the crate before she was a year old. But in the beginning, we kept her crated during the hours we were at work. We started leaving her out of the crate on the weekends when we left for short time periods.[/quote]
