Do you wonder what your dog does when you are gone?

Hello Hardworker, I don't need to wonder what does my dog do when she's home alone because I know this for sure: she sleeps. I never leave home without tiring her first. I leave to work at 7:45 every workday so I have to wake up at 5:30 to have enough time to take her for a long morning walk. We usually walk for an hour and a half first thing in the morning. We run, we play, we do some obedience exercises and, after all this, she's more than tired and happy to be left alone to get some rest. If I come home by surprise at an unusual hour, I find her sleeping. She doesn't move a thing during those 8 or 9 hours when she's home alone. She even does the same during weekends, when we don't leave town. She gets tired during the morning walk so after that she sleeps till 16.00 in the afternoon.

Well, we got three dogs. I don't wonder what they do when we're gone... cause I rarely leave the home and I don't see them too often either. They're outside. But let me tell you what our dogs do. They sit in front of a tree (strange) and then bark as if talking to somebody. That's what they do, at least one of them does this always. The other one is busy playing with the neighbor's dog. They love each other. It's easy to see. The other one is the only one tied because she is so dangerous. She just bites other people. She does not bark, but just bites and that could be dangerous. She's smart and can escape though. The only thing they do that is not permitted is.. well one of our dogs like bothering us while we are sleeping at night. He is so noisy.

my one dog will take the stuffing out of all her toys and shred papers when she is in the mood. She will even take the stuffing out a dog bed, no matter how nice it is. When the mood strikes her. I have caught my dog in the living room when I am not home too. We gate them in the kitchen and dining room when we are all gone, but there is a half wall separating them from the living room and we gate the doorway...one of my dogs can jump over and sleep on the couch and then jump back. Sometimes she will pee on the rug but when I come home they are both in the kitchen playing dumb. One day I surprised them by coming home during the day - lol - and Trixie was sleeping in the living room. You had to see her expression when she lifted her head and saw me - busted!

I know what my dog does, he goes to bed. Whenever we return home he is either still in his bed or just walking down the stairs where his bed is. He's quiet a lazy little thing and enjoys being comfy and I guess we all like to be in our beds and be comfy. We also know he barks for about 10 minutes as soon as we have left the house, luckly we have understanding neighbours who appreciate having a dog next door as it can deter burglers.

I never leave her alone as I know exactly what she will be up to. She will bring the whole roof down, she will howl till I return. No Thank you. I would rather not socialise than leave her alone. I go out only when she has company.

Welcome! My dogs are spoiled they are permitted to get on the couch, bed, recliner you name it, they've tested it out, I'm sure. They are not permitted in the trash cans though. We come home on a regular basis and find that the children have rummaged through the trash and it's scattered all over the floor. We tried placing a gate so the trash would be blocked off. But low and behold the little critters climbed over the gate and got to it anyway. Best Wishes!

I currently do not have a dog or pets, outside of my fishes. My landlord does not allow pets in the building. I can imagine dogs being like children that as soon as they get their free moment they are prancing into all they can get into to. Too cute and sometimes not fun as one has to come back and clean up after them, see just like kids. lol

My dog is really well behaved. We have not found any chewed on shoes or destroyed stuffed animals(and my daughter leaves plenty lying around.) I think he pretty much just goes from one sleeping place to the next. He has 4 that he uses frequently. I am pretty sure he does not get up on the new furniture based on the fact that i have not found tons of dog hair all over it.

Yes. Both my dogs and cats do things they know they are not suppose to when they think we're not home. My plants on a shelf are fine as long as I'm home, but, as soon as they think I'm gone the plants end up on the floor or chewed on. The dog eats the cat poop. They all get on the counters.
