When you work what happens to your dogs??

Can you still enjoy your dogs and work a full time/part time job livving on your own???

When your out all day who looks after your dog??

How does this effect your dog? Do they cope when you are gone?

We work full time, the dogs haven't broke down yet.

They are fine, I walk them before work and straight after work. If we both have meetings and will be late home we get someone to pop in and let the dogs have a toilet break and playtime, not often though.

They are excited when we arrive home but other than that no problems, no chewing, no accidents and no barking (confirmed by the neighbours). Mind you we do have Greyhounds.

There is nearly always someone home here as we have different schedules so it isn't usually a problem.

In the event we will all be out, I pop home at lunchtime and the dogs are shut in the kitchen together. I have no reason to think they have a problem with this.

Mine either stay at home or come in the car. They cope just fine and tbh pretty much just sleep if nothing exciting is happening

I had dogs when I lived on my own and worked full time. It is hard work, but is definitely do-able, and still enjoyable.

I walked my dogs before work, I came home at lunchtime and walked them again and then most of every evening would be taken up with walking, play and training. I didn't have much of a social life either, as the weekends would revolve around the dogs.

I work from home most of the time, but when I go to London for a meeting (anything from once a month to twice a week) we have a walker come in
