Kim, this one is a bit tough for me because I got my Corgi at about 3 months
old and he was already crate trained by the breeder(stayed in all night) for
7 or 8 hours without an accident and I am home full time - so potty training
was so much easier. Make sure the crate is not too large or your puppy will
make it . It should be large enough for him to stand up in, turn around in and
stretch out in when he is full gown. I will have to leave the potty training
advice for a 6 or 7 week old to someone else who may have experienced that
themselves and was working full time - good luck. I am sure you are excited.

I guess one option that I have read about when working full time, is to
put the puppy in a room, such as a bathroom with a baby gate in front
of it and put newspaper down to cover the entire floor. After a couple
of weeks, remove 1/2 of the newspaper - therefore the puppy will seek
out the other 1/2 of the newspaper to go on - after another 2 weeks,
remove some more newspaper until you only have to leave a small amout
out for pottying on. I have read about that method, but I have never
tried it - but it makes sense though. I am sure others will have ideas for
you.
