My puppy is Angel she is 7 months old now. Angel is a Br Lab/Terrier mix.
With economics as it is I have been unemployed for 6 months. So I have been with Angel almost 24/7 the entire time. I just started backto work this past week..YEA!!! How do I help my puppy through our daily separation? I worry if I put her out on a run..mostly the weather factor. If I leave her inside she still has an occational peepee accident..won't use pads.

Hello welcome to this site.nice to meet you.

Welcome! I had the same problem with my youngest now. I was home during the summer because I teach and that is when we got him. It was great, he was potty trained in no time. However, to your point I think he got used to going any time during the day. We kept him in a crate when I went back to work- he was about 5 months at the time. Unfortunately he did have accidents, but out grew it. He was and still is extremely attached to me.
I guess you have to wean her off of you not being there. Go on short trips on the days you don't have to work. It's hard, but she'll get through. I know there are plenty of people in the forum that will have great advice for you. Good luck and again, welcome!

hi welcome to the forum its nice to meet you btw in regards with your question if you have a garage, try to put your dog there

You can consider crate training. How many hours do you leave him alone? By crate training, slowly add time that you are away, leave him with some stuffs and toys that would entertain him. You can also ask a neighbor or a friend to take some look or give him food/drink/potty break if you are out long hours.
