I had a gal call me once and ask. Would it be too much to ask the puppy to stay in it's crate all night, out to potty and get a drink then spend the day in the crate while the owner was a work. They would try to make in home on their lunch brake to let the puppy out to potty and get a drink. I told her that I had a small broom closet and if she would please come on over for the next 24 hrs and I would let her in the closet and then out on the same schedule she had in mind for the puppy. End of conversation. :0) She hung up on me. Gee I wonder why. Why do people ask permission to do something they know is wrong.

I tried it once and ended up getting neurotic dog who was impossible to house break.
