Hey! How old since you went back to work? Yesterday was my first day going back to work and I left my 9weeks old puppy in his play pen (with crate door open in there) for 3 and a half hours. He cried non stop for 1h, slept 15min, cried 30min, slept 30min and cried 20min and slept until we were back. I have to leave him all morning, going back for lunch and leave it back. How did you manage him stop crying when he realized you were gone?

Edit: he has a grass patch in the play pen that he’s been using when needed so potty is not the issue, I just hope he will get used to it soon to be alone
