I do leave Jackson in the hotel for brief periods when we visit Gettysburg in the summer. We always go out to dinner one night at an indoor restaurant where he can't go; he does fine in the hotel by himself for 2 hours and I'm right across the street. I turn the TV up loud and block off the door just in CASE a maid or somebody was to open it... but I also put a Do Not Disturb sign. Also, when we go camping, the dogs stay in the locked/air conditioned RV when we do things that they are not allowed to (i.e. mini golfing, eating indoors, etc). They do fine.
