Hello all. I have a puppy question . . . I work 8 hours a day, but have decided to get a puppy for companionship/eventual protection. I am picking him up in a few weeks, but I'm still undecided on what to do with him while I'm at work. Of course, I plan on coming home during my lunch hour to play with/exercise him, but I'm unsure what to do with him the rest of the time. I know lots of people swear by "crating" a puppy while their gone, but I'm not sure if this is the right way to go. Others suggest setting up a puppy pen in a blocked-off kitchen or bathroom with toys, bedding, etc., but then there is a choking hazard for the puppy if it relieves itself on and then chews the bedding. I cannot afford puppy day-care at this point, which is the other option I have heard. I really want to make the best choice for my puppy . . . please help!!! P.S. He's a german shepherd.
