I have a small puppy, will be a medium dog who is 9 weeks old. I have been home with the puppy this week settling it in, training and getting it used to being home alone. Next week I go back to work and just won't some options on setups. Currently when we leave he is in the kitchen/laundry we have a pen closing the area off. His crates toys and food etc are in there, I have been putting puppy pads in there but I think it's just luck if he uses them. Our back yard is quiet large and not keen on him having the full run of the place (just yet). If we have a working bee on the weekend we can temp fence of a small section right off the laundry door + install dog door. The area there though has no grass (I take him to grass when I'm home). I was thinking off getting a square of fake grass to put in this temp area till he's a bit older. Do you think this could work? Once he's older/bigger will it be hard to get him to move places . House layout means I can't fence of any grass area. Thank you
