I’m getting a German shepherd puppy in the coming weeks. My plan is to have a large playpen set up, with a crate, water, fresh patch, and safe toys. While I work, my puppy will be utilizing the fresh patch. During my time home, I will have the fresh patch on the balcony to assist with training the puppy to hold his bladder. I don’t plan on fully crating my puppy during my work hours until about 4-6 months old so he can comfortably hold it until I’m home. My question is this; will my puppy have a hard time learning to hold his bladder since I’m leaving a safe potty option while I’m not home? Anyone with experience regarding puppies and training please help:). He’s a German shepherd if it makes a difference.
