We have no choice. We have no extra income to pay for the doggie daycare or any close family or friends that can consistently visit to let her out. She is not enclosed in the crate at night. The door is left open and if she needs to potty she uses her pad that is right outside the door of it or wakes us up to be let out. Our 3 year old German shepherd had no problems adjusting at a young age and never made huge poop messes that he rolled around in.
Crate Training During the Day
We have had our newest little girl for 6 days and unfortunately we both work Monday-Friday jobs. We have been crate training her and while night training has been very successful, day training has been quite messy. I'm the one that comes home from work first and I'm always met with a huge poop mess in her crate. Our other dog NEVER pooped in his crate at this age and gave us no trouble. I'm getting up around 530 to 6am to make sure she potties, eats breakfast, potties some more before we leave for work but still there's a huge mess in the crate! I'm getting very discouraged and need some advice on any tips or tricks that I can enable to stop these day time disasters?

How dare you assume that I dont take my dogs to the vet. They are well cared for and loved dearly! I will obviously have to make adjustments to my routine and life. I was looking for support and advice but clearly this forum isn't about that. I should have looked at this forum closer and realized it just full of people who judge

Also the only neighbor we have is the one we rescued her from who was abusing her.
