Question
Hi D-Lee, I am thinking about adopting a Yellow Labrador for my family (me, my wife, son and daughter) both me and my wife are in full time employment. My son is at college doing his a-levels from 8:15-3:20 monday, wednesday & thursday, however tuesday and friday he finishes early and comes home for 1:20 (at the latest) my daughter comes home at 4:30. Most of the time I work from home, so was wondering do you think leaving a dog home alone between 8:15-3:20 on mon through to fri is ok for the labrador dog?

Answer
Hello,

A young puppy would pee or poop in his crate during the day. You would be better with a 6 month or older puppy or adult dog for your shedual. Please see my website for info on getting/choosing/feeding/exercising/crating/training and more
