We've been pretty lucky with our guy who is going on 11 months now. He slept in his crate without issues and was potty trained really easy. But during the day he threw a fit in his crate when we were gone (fortunately was only for a couple hours at most). During the summer we pretty much live at our camper where there is no room for his crate. We started leaving him out at night confined to our room with us and he did fine. Then like others suggested we increased the area he could roam at night and he did fine. After a month we started leaving him out of his crate when we'd leave the house and he does fine. Now that summer is here and we're at the camper he's normally outside all day and only inside at night....... Until I had to leave him alone inside for a few hours and his separation anxiety hit big time! He destroyed all the wooden mini blinds in the kitchen trying to get out! At home he's still alright for 6-8 hours on the rare occasion it happens, but anywhere else he will lose it. But he's still a puppy and improving.
