tiny puppy to be able to hold his bladder for too long. If he is small his crate can be divided into two sections. Or he can be left in an exercise pen with his crate in one section and papers in the other. You must arrange for regular breaks until he matures. Perhaps a neighbor or friend can help or you can hire a sitter or dog walker for him. The time you invest in your dog now will pay off in a happy dog household in the future.
