I'll be getting my new puppy in less than 2 weeks now! And, while I plan on having her w/me as much as possible, there are times when I can't, like when I'm caring for my horses and chickens. I doubt very much that she's crate trained already, and I will be doing that. I don't want to just throw her in a crate when I'm not around until she's be introduced to it and is comfortable w/it. Nor do I want her to have the run of the house when no one is home.
So, until she's crate trained, what can I do w/her when I HAVE to leave her alone? I'm already thinking of cancelling my riding lesson for that week, or having it in the evening so I can leave her w/my hubby. While I will normally be able to take her to the Bible study I go to at a friend's house, she has 5 dogs. I'm thinking it would be better to wait a least a week since she'll need her booster shots once I get her home. Plus, I work 3 mornings a week, weather permitting. I can take her to work-I work at a horse farm, and can probably leave her in an empty stall w/no problem. Would that be OK, or what?
