Is It Okay To Leave A Puppy Alone For 4 Hours A Day, 5 Days A Week?

I’m thinking about getting a Cockapoo and school has started up recently. I would leave for school at 7:15, and I’d get home at 2:10. My mom would be home until 10:00 though, so someone would be home until 10.
Would my puppy be ok?
Would I have to potty train it before I leave it alone?
I heard something about crates, can you explain?
Also, would it be better to wait until the summer, so I could spend a month or two caring for it non-stop, and then once school comes along, he’d be fine?
Please, any additional information would be very appreciated.
PS (to those of you who have Cockapoos) Are Cockapoos hyper?

Potty Training 16 Week Old Puppy?

Hey we got a puppy about two months ago this week and we are trying to get him potty trained. He is a cockapoo and he does go outside if you take him out a few times every hour. But often even if you take him out and he goes and pee’s he will still come back in and poop on the floor. This is even after you wait outside with him for some time. What is bothering me is that if you leave him in his pen for a long period of time (3-4 hours) he wont even go to the bathroom. But when we are around and hes out and about he will just poop on the floor. He doesn’t go and sit at the door or anything. This is getting frustrating. Anyone have any advice?

Whats A Good Way To Potty Train My 7 Week Old Female Cockapoo?is It To Soon To Bring Outside To Use Potty/?

She can go outside to potty at your house but don’t let her walk around public dog areas. (Vet, petstore, dog parks..)
Crating really is the best. With her being so little I would get one with the divider and as she gets bigger you can take the divider out.

What Treats Should I Give My 8 Week Old Cockapoo?

I just got a little male cockapoo on the weekend. He’s doing great but I want to start giving him little treats to work with the training. Anyone have any good ideas for treats? He is very small… his father was a toy poodle.
