[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she can hold her bladder why does she need to be crated all day?  Why not just use gates to confine her to a particular area of the house?  I don't see why a middle-aged dog should have to spend all day in a crate -- that sounds unpleasant and I can't blame her for refusing to go back in.  [/quote]

OP here: because she freaks out and destroys the room she is confined to.  She does fine in the crate (no anxiety, just sleeps) as it feels safe to her.

I hear the PP above suggesting I try again to address that separation anxiety issue.  No argument with that idea, but I'm looking more for a solution to her being alone and unexercised all day.  On other days, she gets a 5-mile walk and play time after work, but there are two days where I get home later and just can't do it.  A dog walker would be a no-brainer if she could go back in her crate after the walk.  [b]I'd be willing to pay a neighborhood kid to walk her and then stay and do his homework at my house, but I feel like that's just a weird thing to advertise for[/b].[/quote]

I don't think that is weird to advertise for.  I think there are kids out there who could do this for you.

Another option is advertising for a kid who can walk her and take her to his house, so she can stay there until you return home.[/quote]
