I've been working with him fastidiously in his crate and have been able to come home on lunch brakes to take him out of his crate. today I knew that I wouldn't be able to make it home from work during my break. I had to choose between using the exercise pen and taking a step back in his potty training or seeing if he could handle 8 1/2 hours in the crate. So far he's handled 4-6 hours with me at work. and 8 hours down over night. I was rooting for him the whole time I was at work. Around 6 hours I started getting finicky wondering if he was alright or if we was sad sitting in his pee. I raced home to find him in a dry crate and got him outside giving him plenty of praise. He went pee pretty quickly. He wasn't up for pooping so I brought him is for a bowl of chow and then he went out and handled his business like a champ. Tonight he got some great play time in a nice grassy complex near out place. He was excited about all the dew on the grass and me bringing his new tug toy to play with. we're calming down inside right now and I think he's ready to go to sleep.
I'm pretty impressed by what this amazing little 10 week old can do. I can't wait for after work tomorrow we're gonna go out for a special dinner to celebrate his 10 weeks and his success in his crate.
