buy an xpen, dogs have no idea how long they are left alone, you could be gone an hour or 9 hours, and they don't know the difference..you can buy a pad holder and make the xpen big, with his pee pad, food, water and bed in it..this way he will be safe while you're away. also put a lot of toys in there for him, but, it's a known fact, that most dogs sleep 20 hours a day |
