Puppy and work?

I am going back to work in about 2 weeks and I'm not too sure what to do about my pup! She will be 5 mo when I go back. I want to find a dog walker but I can't seem to find one in the area and I cannot afford doggie day care. She is an excellent pup as far as house training. She is crate trained and everytime she comes out of her crate she'll go outside. She sleeps through the night and can go about 6 hours without an accident. Ok- so if I go back to work and confine her in the kitchen and leave a wee-wee pad out for her, will she still go outside in the morning and evening? Will she get confused? I don't want her to regress in her training b/c she has been so good. Any ideas?

Work with her slowly... Try leaving her alone for short periods and slowly work until they are longer. Don't do this constantly but rather work at it one or two times per day so that she understands that you cannot be with her all the time. If you confine her to the kitchen - as we do with our own dogs - make sure you leave her some chew toys and a soft place to lie down. The hard floors can eventually be very uncomfortable to lay on and your dog will become restless. Also, if you don't want your dog to poop in the floor, make sure you feed her as well as take her out before you leave for work. Don't leave her food in the kitchen with her or she'll have no choice but to use the bathroom there as well and that can be extremely messy!

Note: Be careful with pee pads. Our dog learned to use pee pads but she couldn't understnad the concept that when they weren't put down she wasn't supposed to use the bathroom there. Hence, she tries to use the bathroom now where her pee pads used to be.
