have some faith. Dog should be fine and just do what you need to do!
I’ve found sz people worry way too much about things that puts their energy away from what is more realistic! Give your pup a chance and do what you need to do!
I crate my golden retriever because she has destroyed furniture and I can’t afford new furniture every time she ruins them. So yeah, she’s free when we’re home. I’m home all day anyway. And the only time we go out we think of her bathroom and eating schedule and come home in time to let her out.
