They need more socialization than that. If you think it'll only be home alone a max of like 5 or 6 hours, then that works probably work fine. --- http://poorcouplesfoodguide.com Agender, curry fan, Top 10 lister, indie dev, gym hitter, musician, et al. <cite>LostForest posted [p:960507790] in Can I own ...

Get a cat cat is better. unless have someone check up on the dog during the day. my contribution on a daily basis: 2 of 30 min walks. maybe a 10 min bathroom break. she sleeps most of the day but love that dog even if it's gotten very old (she's a grandma dog). used to be plenty more active. could take her on an hour beach walk and still wanted more. --- Explorers In The Further Regions Of Experience, demons to some, Angels To Others: Pinhead <cite>kingdrake2 posted [p:960507896] in Can I own ...

Houston 11/30/21 10:18:27 PM #10:	If you're legitimately going to put in the work to train the dog, then it will be okay. Trained dogs are happy dogs and they can be just fine if left alone for hours. If you don't have a yard, you should probably come home during lunch and let the dog out to use the restroom. Spend plenty of time with the dog before you leave for work and when you come home for the evening. Don't be that person who doesn't put in the work to train an animal (which, unfortunately applies to many dog owners). It takes time and dedication. If you can't provide that, I wouldn't bother. Some people who are able to stay at home often shouldn't even have a dog because they don't want to put in any actual work to train it. They just let it jump on people, bark all day, scratch up doors if left outside for even a few minutes, etc---a real big pet peeve of mine. --- "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." - Dr Seuss <cite>Houston posted [p:960508080] in Can I own ...
