Hey guys, I have a 7-month-old Doberman. This “little” guy is well-behaved, and whenever I’m working remotely I can manage all his pee breaks – otherwise, he uses the balcony.

My initial thought was to use the balcony as both a crate and a bathroom.
However, the doghouse in the image no longer fits him, and not only does he dislike being on the balcony, he also only pees and poops there when I’m home. When I’m not, he stays in the kitchen (he has his bed there – “the place”), where he does whatever he wants and pees everywhere.
My question is: should I keep the balcony as a bathroom and he stays in the kitchen with more space or should I introduce the crate in there?
If so I was thinking in building a custom one.
For context: I left at 9 and I come back at 18 and I fear that’s too much crating for a dog…
