6. Leaving Them Alone For a Long Time

We know you have to go to work, all of us do, but try not to leave your dog unattended for extended periods of time.
Think of it this way, you and your family are your dog’s pack. They are social animals by nature and need to be around others.
If you leave the dog alone for 10 hours at a time they can begin to exhibit destructive behavior like digging and chewing as well as develop anxiety. They also may start barking a lot more because they need attention.
What’s even worse is that being left alone for long periods of time can lead to separation anxiety as well as behavioral and psychological issues.
If you need to be absent for long hours, make sure your dog has enough entertainment, even leaving the TV or Radio on can be a source of comfort for them!
