9 week old caging for a few hours

I got called back into work for a few hours in the morning,I have to cage the pup ,my wife works right down the block 5 minutes away and will be home by lunch,he sleeps thru the night in his cage so he should be alright,thoughts?

He should be fine, make sure he potties right before you leave

thanks,right after my wife goes back to work at 2 pm my daughters get home from school at 2:20pm and are home for the rest of the day,he's getting really good at going out for potty but thanks again

if the puppy is used to the crate and desensitized it'll be fine.

actually its important to practice seperation right away. if the puppy is used to someone home all ybe time their first few months they dont learn to be ok alone and can develop seperation anxiety. it's important to make a point every few days at least (if not every day) to have everyone leave the house for a bit and leave puppy crated. even just 20-30mins.
