Right now mine go to work with me . . . but when I can't they are home, at large. When they're young pups, they are in a puppy-proofed room. And you should try Fila-puppy proofing a room :eek:

I would look into crate training. My moms dog Tucker still has to be in his crate when no one is home. But my dog Maggie gets free roam of the place. She started off in her crate and just eventually stopped putting her in there all together. She just sleeps the entire time we're gone lol.

my dogs came to me young, 9wks =way to young for daycare, so they were crated and i paid a dog sitter to come to the house 3 times a day for puppy bathroom breaks & a lunch feeding. she came every 2hrs...puppies can't hold long(i was home by 3pm). then when they completed vaccs. which is about 3mos. or so they were able to go to work w/ me as well to doggie daycare.

when they no longer needed to be crated they just hung out all day when not with me.

*if your dog is distructive, the best & safest thing for your dog is to crate it.*
I think this might be my best bet. I wish I could bring the pup with me to work, but my boss would flip out.

Izzy and Frodo are in their crates for the 7 hours while I am at school. Mollie has free run of the house.
