Any experienced Husky/Malamute puppy owners.

By on October 23rd, 2008

she is 8 weeks old and we need some tips on potty training her.and also we both work during the day and we need some ideas on the best way to keep her safe while we are gone.She is very smart.and she can climb over just about anything.fences,gates.Neither my husband or I agree in crate-training a puppy her age(with little bowel control) as we have been advised to do by other dog owners.especially for 8 hours.and leaving her closed off in our kitchen had her tearing at our floors.Any advice would be much appreciated.Especially from Husky/Malamute owners.Thankyou.
I do believe in crate training.just not for atleast another month when she has more bowel control.She does get alot of exercise.and I will be going on maternity leave soon so I will have more time to spend with her
