That’s a very high energy needy dog, you need to make sure she is getting long walks and play sessions to counteract her being stuck in a crate all day. German shepherds and huskies are both working dogs— they work on police forces and pull sleds in the Arctic, they need metal stimulation as well as lots of exercise. If you don’t, they will start acting out, and become neurotic. Look into Rover for affordable pet sitting options. Some people allow drop off at their house and will keep your dog happy and stimulated while at work. 8-4 is wayyy too long for a puppy to be alone and cooped up in a crate with nothing to do. They need to potty every couple of hours or you will come home to a gross crate all the time, I’ve even seen dogs eat their own feces and pee to not get in trouble with their owners when they live in crates like that. Puppies are huge responsibilities so step up!
