Anyone ever hire a dog walker?
Have a little dilemma where next month I start an academy and ill be gone for 12 hours a day, 5 days a week... Not sure if I want my dog holding in his piss for that whole time
Yeah, you should try it out or a dog daycare, if you have one in your area. My brother hired one and gave the dog walker a key to their apartment, so he would pick her up mid-afternoon and walk her for about an hour with a couple other dogs. Eventually, my brother's dog ended up being too rambunctious for the dog walker, especially since he was walking 3-4 other dogs at the same time. So, if your dog has a lot of energy then a smaller pack would be preferable. Other than that, and your dog getting along with the others in the pack, you should be good.
