New puppy

Hi was wondering does anyone leave their puppy. I pick mine up end of May. I work in a school and worry about the morning time as I come home at lunch. The puppy would be on their own for 3 hrs I have lots of toys, bones, toys to make him find treat but I got to work and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Don't really want to put him in a crate but will if I have to. Just wondered if that time length is OK. Will get a dog walk for when he can go out but till then. Thanks for reading x

@Twoginsonetonic so you think it's fine to have planned to buy a puppy and think that leaving it alone from Day 1 for 3 hrs a day in a crate - without having established the crate as a place of comfort and security for the puppy - is a fine and dandy thing to do ?

Actually I think we should give o/p some credit- she has listened and has said she isn’t getting this puppy but will rethink and make plans to try and get one for the school holidays.

Which is the sensible thing to do.
