@servintheking I got a dog walker who comes at lunchtime for an hour. My dog was abandoned at about 6 weeks old someone put him in a backpack and dumped him on a doorstep he needed a home stat so I didn't have much time to prepare I was lucky I was off work at the time so we had a week to sort the basics, we trained separation anxiety, crate/pen and toilet from day one. He has never done an accident in his pen or crate which is amazing, he just sleeps the whole time I'm at work. That hour out with playtime and lunch and toilet break is the key.
