how long do you leave your dogs for?

[shepp 2,285]

One dog on it's own every day for extended periods is not really fair. Mine get left all day but there are two together and have a section of the garden to walk around.

One possibility to think about when looking for a new house Aaron, a secure yard. I worked really long shifts, so put a dog flap in the door. The dogs could go in and out for toilet.

I am very much boss over my lot...but I PERSONALLY don't think it is humane to leave a dog 11 hours a day....but hey ho what the f**k do I know on this sexist, arm chair hunter site pmsl.

 

Anyone who knows me respects me fully, even a guy who has bred some very well known dogs has said I am one of the best dog handler/owners he has ever met and respects me fully.....now from a bloke that has been in it since he was 12 that is a serious compliment

 

He's got ulterior motives .

A lot of you blokes are showing the impact of long term urbanisation. The dog is not a kid. It is happiest if led rather than pampered. Wild dogs can spend a long time in their den awaiting the return of a pack leader. For heaven's sake, if genuine dog psychology seems too harsh for you iron your skirt and get down to the shops and buy a new doll. FMD. Is it any wonder so many of your hunting rights has been stolen from you if you are such nancies about leaving a dog safe and sound for 11 hours. I am amazed at some of the comments on this thread.

Cheers.

I think people are looking to deep into this lol

lets be honest most people on here and for the whole all dog owners wouldnt leave a dog cooped up in a house all day alone for 11hours till you came home.more so if it was a regular thing everyday.f**k knows if it would psycologically damage im no dog whisperer,my concern would be the toilet and exercise issue.
