Leaving a lab at home

[rizzini 1]

Would you say three days a week in to long to leabve a 2 year old lab by himself? He is normally ok one day awake as he just sleeps for the whole day, but would three days be to much?

 

Thanks

A week

How the f**k do you expect him to feed himself?

Put a weeks worth of food down and he'll eat it all before the end of the week.

You need to get someone to take your dog out, put your hand in your pocket, there must be someone local that will do it for a small fee.

No part time work 9-7, 3 days a week. Im coming home in the evening.

in that case i would say it would be ok, could a neighbour come round and let the dog out possibly ????

I've lived in middle floor flats and kept Dogs, mate. Worked twelve hour shifts. Had to pick some shit off the carpet to start with. Lost an item of furniture or two. But the Dogs were fit as f*ck and came to no mind harm for it. I'd walk through the door, snap a lead on and walk them straight out for their wander.

 

If ye have a house with a back garden which he's secure in? Just leave the door open.

 

How many on here do ye think keep a pack of lurkers, banged up in pokey little kennels, waiting for some " Chav " type smack head to come take them for a walk? Hardly the ones to advise, let alone criticize, are they?

 

Dog'll do fine, mate. As long as it has fresh water available. Is secure. And knows what time to expect it's dinner

most dogs will not give a shite whether you are there or not ,they sleep most the time ,it's only the neurotic lap dogs that will pine or wreck the joint ,i'd say kenneled they'd be fine ,as long as they have got the essentials i.e food, water,and the exersise when you get back
