You should hire a dog walker. Not all dogs can hold it for that long. Mine cannot.

My dog is in her crate at night for nearly 12 hrs. She isn’t dying to potty when I let her out.


Why?



Why what? Why is she crated at night or why isn't she dying to go out in the morning?

Crating a dog is to keep them safe. Would you let a toddler wander around your house unsupervised?

I can not believe you do not.

We crate our dogs when we go out.

Nothing wrong with that. This way they are safe and comfy. You are an idiot.


Dp. People who do not crate their dogs have dogs they can trust . It does not make them idiots.

6 hours is a long time to crate especially whrn yheir other dogs aren't

Could you hire a walker to do a mid-day walk? How long of a walk does the dog get in the morning? My 2-year-old dog usually goes twice on our morning walk, and sometimes 3x.

Are you trying to sell the crate or the technique or both as a miracle method to get one's dog to poop in a specified location and during a specific time period each day ?

Do you think that your method is eligible for patent protection ?

How much are you seeking ? Give me a call and lets talk.

Nobody is trying to sell anything
Crating dogs is normal practice to keep destructive dogs safe when they cannot be watched, up to 6-8 hours is ok for an adult dog to go without bathroom breaks
If dog poops in the crate - first thing to check is the crate size, then work on other possibilities
As OP stated - whether or not to crate her dog is out of question, her dog is destructive, so not sure why you're confused


You don't get out much--do you ?

My post was intended to be humorous. Just a hunch, but I bet you hear the whoosh sound frequently.

Then don’t have a destructive dog if you can’t take care of it.


dp why not ask why the dog is destructive? Maybe a dog walker could tire them out?
