During my old job overnight shift 10 hours, my dog have her own potty pad. I always replace it before I leave for work. She is doing alright. She sleeps at the most time. She happy to see me and she knew it’s her breakfast time lol
I leave my maltese dog for 7-8hours, 5 days per week. But I also leave him with food,water, he pees on the pad, and of course I always provide toys to play, such as dog puzzles, kong with peanut butter or licking mat.
@@thandazangxongwana3845 training definitely requires some time and effort, so don't give up if you want to teach him. I taught him from the first day, when he was very small, this is a big advantage. it's much easier. I don't know how old your Maltese is, but you can try a few things. In pet stores, there are drops that are supposed to stimulate the dog with their smell to pee where you drip them. But, it didn't work for us, unfortunately. I took a paper cup with me when we went out, and while he was peeing I caught the urine in the cup and then poured it on the diaper back home, and every time I noticed (at home) that he wanted to pee, I put him on the diaper, and of course he smelled that the urine was already there and went. When he peed the first time, I rewarded him with a treat. Maltese are very smart and they learn quickly. Especially if they are food motivated. it also helps if you don't take him out at all, for a day or (even better) two days, when you are at home too, and every time he needs to go, you put him on the pee pad, I know it sounds cruel, but it's not, that's the fastest way he'll find out where he can go. Because he will have to go sooner or later. I hope this helps, and sorry if my English is too bad.
I have a shih tzu dog 2 years old…and I’m planning to start working soon after a year break.. 9 hours job . Can I lev my dog alone .. I have nobody to help can’t afford pet day care😢
I have 3 huskies, and need to start working full time, I work days and nights, average about 8 or 9 hours. I can't afford most doggy day cares because Id be working just for their daycare. We need more affordable and convenient options, for pet care, so humans and their pets alike, dont end up on the streets.
I was going to adopt a 4 year old dog this Tuesday 2024 but I was thinking as much as I fell in love with him, its not fair for him to come home with me. I work 10 hour days plus 2 hours one hour going and coming back, so 12 hours total. It is not fair to the dog that I am gone that long, no real good bonding time with my schedule Mon-Thur. So I took my name off the raffle list and my prayer is he goes to a good loving home and gets lots of attention. Maybe one day I will have a dog but its not in the cards right now. Peace
I have a camera so I can check on my dog. I've had her since a pup and now work a 12 hr shift, 3 to 4 days a week. It just is what it is but she gets plenty of fun and exercise on my days off...shes also a 8 year old english bulldog so she loves to sleep anyways.
My dog stays home alone for 12 hours. I work 3 days 12 hr overnight shifts. I used to come home on my break to let him out to pee, but he would never go, so I save the gas and he’s just fine. He sleeps and plays with toys. He’s a bully mix.
many dogs sleep the same ammount of time as their humans +some many prefering to go potty only 1-3 times useing most of it for marking or just didt wana go that often this isnt for every dog but many are happy not going 67 times a day like yall think they do
@@meganshire5284 yeah as long as they have their needs met an adult large dog can go 12-14 hours before you reallllyy need to take em potty on a small dog smaller then 30 pounds its better to assume 6 hours instead of 12
I just received my 8 week old puppy Aussie. Her name is Petunia. I have searched around town for puppy day care but NO ONE is open until 9am and I enter work at 7am. The deal was my ex and I would care for it but looks like plans have changed. What should I do?
My puppy has an absorbent pad but he usually only uses it for pee pees. He wkll dookie in the house with no care. That being said, he's 3 months old and I follow the times she said are ideal- 3+1, although he does well alone. He usually sleeps the whole time, but somehow he gets up to plenty mischief when I'm at home 😅😅
With work I'm forced to leave her for 12.5 hours at night 2-3x a week. She has free run of the house and food and water is left out. She is two years old and 40kg. Am I right in thinking the fact this is at night / when the dog sleeps, that the bladder issue should be ok?
Hello. Im in difficult position because I used to have two dogs (11 years each) living in my parents house which is 5 acres of woods and grass but no other animals. Thing is one of them died and now theres only one left. The house is sometimes empty and you have only one person going from monday to friday to work on the gardens. I try to go at least 4 times a week (is a 1 hour drive from my apt) but now i have to travel outside of my country. Im worried about my dog even if shes old and sometimes she just spend the whole day sleeping. I still feel sad that shes not going to see me and that theres going to be days that she will receive short visits. Shes very friendly but at her age shes really chill. We do have other animals around like wild birds, rabbits and neighbor dogs (they bark eachother once in a while). I guess shes used to that life since shes always been there but I dont know. Im worried :/ . I thought about bringing another dog but my veterinary says that since she haves an autoinmune illness plus the stress of sharing her space with a new dog might do more harm than good. Same with taking her to other place. Whats your advice on this? As i Said, she will see someone at least for an hour each day and she will see someone from monday to friday at least a couple of hours.
Covid has made this so much harder for people and dogs. It's ridiculous. They're safe at home with smells and their own bed water treats and we worry about them. I've bought a camera to watch him. I have just as much separation anxiety as him. Haha
Why not talk about the fact that dogs are not solitary animals. They are pack animals. When living as pets, the owner and family are their pack. It can actually be very bad mentally for dogs to be left home alone for more than a few hours a day even with a break in the middle. Sure, food and water and the ability to relieve themselves are important, but so is their mental comfort. If you live in a situation where your dog is going to be left home alone for more than 5-6 hours a day total, get 2 dogs, a dog walker, a doggy day care or just adopt a cat instead.
I trained my scottie to go poop and pee in the Bath tub when i'm away for too long at work. She loves it because she hates the cold and is extremely lazy.
First time i left my new baby home alone for about 2 hours and i was having a melt down myself. I can’t imagine leaving her alone a whole 8-12 hrs that would just break me
Which breed is good for me? I am veeeerry busy male. Probably I wont buy but still have fate for best breed for my circumstances. I like many but what I can give and bring to the table is zero. I cannot walk them all the time. I am studying, sport and working for 8+ hours
I got mad when my mom said that she would leave her dog alone at her house for 10 hours like 3 days out of the week, and then I found out he isn’t potty trained and poops in the bathroom, I was like…. W… why?… Now I’m just going to the house and letting hims out to the yard
hey I have a question my mum is saying it's cruel to leave a dog alone for too long but I really want a dog I am at school for about 7 hours and I'm not sure if that's suitable for getting a new dog?
I work 8 hours and I am about to get a corgi. I had a Dachshund before and she was in my bathroom during the day and or baby gate in the hallway. I’ll do the same when training this dog as well so it’s not confined in a crate all day long 😊
@Zoey Del Buono How did you train your puppy before leaving her alone for such a long time? I can come home for a walk at lunchtime after 3-4 hours, but I don’t want her to be stressed while alone. I want to train her to stay alone for 10 minutes first, then 20 etc, but I still feel unsure and don’t want her to whine while I am gone :/.
@@crystaljenkins8754hey,i really want to get a dachshund but i dont know if they can be left alone.How many hours did you leave your dachshund and how did you train him
I dont like the idea of routinely leaving a dog alone. A 9-5 job and you will be gone for about 10 hours. The dog is a family member. If its going to be alone everyday, why even have a dog?
Exactly. A dog is a family member, not an accessory. If you train the dog well enough they'll be find while you work. Believe it or not a lot of people are not only forced to work, but sometimes forced to caring for the dog themselves.

I cnt seem to win training my maltese to use the pee pads 😢 he only wants to pee outside, so it's difficult for me to go to work, any tips for me?

Thank you i was stressed like really stressed
Thank you so much..I really appreciate it
Great Information…. 🐾👍
I cannot believe people would think it’s alright to leave their dog alone without someone checking on them for 12 hours!!!!!!

Have a yard and or a second dog for companionship
I trained my scottie to go poop and pee in the Bath tub when i'm away for too long at work. She loves it because she hates the cold and is extremely lazy.
What if you have a dog door that leads to a gated yard that's decent sized? Would it be fine to leave my dog alone for 12 hours?
Waaaay too long.
Nope way to long
If he has access to the yard, why would that be too long??
@@yogijager that's fine mate wish i had one
It’s fine .
I don’t get it..I’ve see. So many of those videos and fells like they should start with DONT get a DOG if you DONT have TIME
The longest I left my baby is 5hrs tops. 😂now I gotta actually work and leave her for 8 hrs. I’m about to CRYYYY
First time i left my new baby home alone for about 2 hours and i was having a melt down myself. I can’t imagine leaving her alone a whole 8-12 hrs that would just break me
Don't get a job then. That's a normal shift for most of us.

So If I’m 26 and I multiply that by 12 that means I can hold my bladder for 312 hours ? Absolutely not lol & we are mammals
