There was a member that had a nice setup with her puppy, it included a wading pool, a crate and an x-pen. But I agree with who ever was wondering about why she can't hold it while you are gone... I also have a job, and while most of the time Koda is only left to himself for 4-5 hours max, if it is just me and the BF is out of town, I will be out of the house for 8-9 hours and he is fine. he even has access to water while I am gone.

She may just need a refresher on potty training, or she may be experiencing a very mild bladder infection. I would also make sure that where ever she is going while you are gone is very well cleaned with an enzymatic cleaner to remove all traces of urine odor.
