| commented answer | How long is it normal to crate the dog throughout the day? I totally understand the crating when she's not at the house, but it shocks me the total amount of time. |
| commented answer | How long is it normal to crate the dog throughout the day? I crated him that last night and he did whine a little, but he did good. I am home most days, and I just don't feel comfortable having him crated 20 hours throughout the day. I have seen that guide, but I don't find anything about how long they can be crated IN TOTAL. |

| asked a question | How long is it normal to crate the dog throughout the day? I am taking care of a 4 month old puppy right now and the owner never told me that he is crate training. She never said that the amount of time spent in the crate is not optional. She basically crates him overnight (8h), when she works (8-9h) and other 2-3h in the evening. That makes a total of about 19-20h a day. The crate measures 9x17, as she put a divider on it. I think this is way too much time in a way too little space. How long is normal to have a dog crated out of 24h? PS: The pup is staying with me for 7 more days |
