My puppy (13 week old golden retriever) is learning how to like her crate. She is good in there when she’s sleeping or has an enrichment toy. The other night she slept for 5 hours straight without waking me up to potty which is good for her. That just leads me to wonder, how long can I leave her in the crate during the day? Usually her daytime naps last 1-2 hours, and as soon as she wakes up she needs to pee.
I’m assuming i need to wait until she’s a bit older to leave her in there for longer than 2 hours. I don’t want to freak her out, nor do I want her to pee in the crate. When they get older will they be able to just wake up and settle themselves back to sleep again if they’re left in there for longer periods of time?
