But I get your situation is far different. Puppies are like babies.

The more you crate the more wild they will be later. We thought he was nuts but found it to be oooh so true. <br />Think of crating a 2 yr old. When they get out are they calm? oh no! More wound up than ever. So expect it to be the same with a dog. They will need to run and get some type of mental stimulation outside or inside and then run for exercise. So we had to stop that but you don't have anyone home so I get why you do it. We crated for 2 weeks and then saw the difference and never again. We kept the crate open so she went in there to nap as a puppy more than her bed but then just got rid of the crate. This dog is so darn cute!
