I just adopted a 3 month old cocker spaniel, and since it is summer I don't have to work. But when my work starts in a month, how will i be able to take care of her, she will be alone for 10 hours.

She'll be too young to crate for that long (and too long for any dog, really). Leave her in a kitchen or laundry room and use baby gates to block off the entrances. Or, get an exercise pen to set up in they hallway or other non-carpeted room. She'll need a blanket or bed, and pee pads. Better idea is to have someone come over (hire a pet sitter) at lunch to let her outside and play with her. This will continue to help her develop proper housebreaking habits.

If properly introduced and used appropriately, crate training is an efficient and humane way to prevent house training accidents as well keep your puppy safe when you can not watch him (or when you leave the house/apartment without him).

You can either hire someone to take care of her, or, depending on where you work, take her along with you.
That's really something you should have thought through completely before getting a dog...

You can always leave her with a family member or hire someone to watch her at your house so she feels safe. Only hire people who are kind and gentle to animals and will know what to do incase she gets hurt or something happens.

I suggest crate training until hes older. if you can get a dog walker to come and walk her at some point during the day
