I am unemployed right now so I am home with my two dogs, but I'd hate to think that when I go back to work they'll be stuck in a crate all day, even if they do get out for a break around lunch time. I know there to small to be outside unattended, but has anyone had any luck with different options besides crating all day?
I want my dogs to be able to play and be comfortable when I'm gone. |
Jackson's had free roam of the house since about 5 months old. He could be trusted though and still to this day has never eaten anything, pooped, or peed when we're not here. (When we ARE here... different story lol) so depending on the dog, I don't think all need to be crated. It's just a matter of how much trust you have in them and training. I did have an expen for the first 2 months of Jackson's life with me that I kept him in. The 1st time he had free roam was at my dads house and we all left to go to dinner, and he has 2 other dogs. My dad didn't have the heart to leave him in the crate with the other 2 out free and I was worried at first but we came home to nothing wrong or out of place! They just sleep when we're not there.
