My puppy is 4 months old. I was leaving him crated during the day while I worked (he was let out for an hour at lunch). I have a fenced in yard, and now that the weather is in the mid 60's and 70's, I would like to leave him outside all day. Should I slowly build up a few hours alone outside while I am home then work on while I am away? Or keep him crated while I work? What do you suggest. Thank you.

I wouldn't leave him outside alone at this age, and I am really not a fan of it at all. Puppies are good little diggers, and it doesn't take much of a hole for them to get out of a fence. In his crate, he is safe. In the back yard, he may bark and annoy a neighbor, find some yummy poisionous substance, or even impail himself on a stick that he was playing with. Too many things can happen. That doesn't even consider, theft of your pup or someone leaving a gate open by accident.
Wendy Perry,
I am a new GSP owner myself and I find the information here a life saver.I built my dog a 10X10 chain link fence kennel outside so I was able to put her somewhere when I was gone.I think I spent around $250 but,it's well worth the thought knowing she's secure.My pup loves it!
