I was told not to let them run around the yard all day because they'll go crazy and start to destroy the yard. Some time of smaller fenced kennel or area will give them a "den" to relax in which is what they do naturally as a dog.

Alx, sounds good. Going home for lunch will be my game plan for now. If I need more help to cover me, I'll seek it out.

Not in all cases, but most dogs do what dogs do, especially the sporting breeds.

Bourg, that's gauges kennel in my back yard I built. It's 12x12. 8x8 concrete pad and rest is gravel for easy poop pickup. Used a tarp for the roof and had an old dog house from last dog for him. Also in summe he had a fan to keep him cool. He runs around in back yard when it's dry and we are home

I got a 9 week old lab. I luckily got her at 5.5 weeks during the holidays and it made it a little easier. I leave her out in the back yard during the day and she is fine. Just puppy proof the yard, make sure the pup can't get out. The worst she does is run behind the bushes and is starting to dig a little.
At night she sleeps in my room and wakes up to go outside once a night. Can't wait till she can hold it all night
