Working and Dogs

[Renee750il]

Right now mine go to work with me . . . but when I can't they are home, at large. When they're young pups, they are in a puppy-proofed room. And you should try Fila-puppy proofing a room

I would look into crate training. My moms dog Tucker still has to be in his crate when no one is home. But my dog Maggie gets free roam of the place. She started off in her crate and just eventually stopped putting her in there all together. She just sleeps the entire time we're gone lol.

when they no longer needed to be crated they just hung out all day when not with me.

*if your dog is distructive, the best & safest thing for your dog is to crate it.*

I think this might be my best bet. I wish I could bring the pup with me to work, but my boss would flip out.

Izzy and Frodo are in their crates for the 7 hours while I am at school. Mollie has free run of the house.
