Potty train a husky puppy working 8 hours: Is long crating cruel?

Question

How to potty train a Siberian husky when you work 8 hours a day 5 days a week..? Not being kennel trained, that's far to long to leave him coupled up in a kennel unless it's not unhumane I just don't want to be cruel. Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 9 days old | 10 lbs

If your Siberian is as young as the information states, he is far too young to be away from his mom and littermates. Puppies learn valuable socialization lessons from their siblings during the time from five to eight weeks of age. If possible, please reunite him with his canine family until he is at least eight weeks old. Yes, it is cruel to keep such a very young puppy confined for long periods of time. I usually recommend that people who work all day get an older dog rather than a puppy.
