We have a 8 week puppy coming home on Saturday. I do the school run on foot (puppy too heavy to carry and too young to walk) and it takes nearly an hour.
I've just got my head round that time out the house twice a day, leaving puppy in his crate and to start with I'll rush home so it will be more like 45 mins. If I felt this was not going well I could get a lift or send DS with neighbours, so I have a Plan B!
But DSs teacher asked if I would be available for reading at school this term as I used to hear children read several days a week for first 15 mins of day. So only adds on 20 mins to my home time. Maybe this would be OK by week 3 when puppy is 10weeks?
How long did you leave your puppy in first few weeks and how quickly did this increase?

How long did you leave your 8, 9 & 10 week puppies alone in house?
