Hi everyone! I'm about to have a puppy for the first time. He is a Shihpoo, and he was born 1/13/26, so he's about 10 weeks old. I am beyond excited about this, but I am obviously a bit scared.
I am in a very lucky position right now as a graduate student, and the only time I will have to be away from him is from 7:30am to 11:30am Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Despite having all the rest of my days and nights free, I am terrified to leave him for 4 hours on those days in a crate. I've been reading and watching a ton about crate training, but I know that his bladder will probably not be able to make it for 4 hours, and I don't want him to have to sit in his accident for hours. Any and all advice is appreciated
