[quote=Anonymous]Definitely get a dog walker to take the pup out mid-day. Some dogs can hold it all day but some can't so you shouldn't plan on it at first. I think it's really worth the expense especially at first. Also, if you're planning on getting a puppy, they have to go out way, way more often so just a walk at lunch won't necessarily be enough. You might want to plan on sending them to doggie daycare when they're younger once they get their shots so you don't have to worry about it (and they'll get a great workout/socialization all day). Crate training can be great or it can be awful. Some dogs love their crates, some view them as torture devices. Puppies generally adapt to crates really well, if you adopt an adult dog, they may have issues with a crate. You may have to play it by ear. We have a dog that is terrified of the crate so we gate him in a portion of the house where he won't have access to anything he shouldn't when we're gone. [/quote]
