Am I crating Remi too much?
Remi sleeps in his crate from 9:30 pm to 7:30 a.m. with one potty break in the middle (and of course before and after)
We take him for at least 1 walk a day, often 2. They last at least 20 minutes per session.
I crate him up to 5 hours a day, either all at once (once a week max), or broken up depending on what my appointments look like. Sometimes I can't watch him if I have a conference call, etc. On average I will crate him for 1-2 hours during the day up to 2 times.
We'll also put him in the crate for a break for 20 minute intervals until he does his potty time if he refuses to go when we take him out.
The remainder we play with him or have cuddle time.
Too much for a puppy? Just right?
