Dog despite full-time job: You should pay attention to this
If you want to get a dog, then don't get a puppy!
The
young dogs need a lot of attention
,
especially in the beginning
, they have to go out a lot and of course puppy training is the top priority.
They also don't learn to be house-trained within two weeks of vacation.
If you are at work for a longer period of time, then you can find
dog care
.
In addition to family or friends, professional dog sitters can also take care of your four-legged friend.
Like every living being,
dogs have their needs
.
You have to fulfill these.
This includes fresh water, feed, doing business, play units and exercise.
See the
dog as a hobby!
Spend a lot of free time with your four-legged friend.
He won't be happy if you have a drink or go to the movies after work.
Find activities that your dog can enjoy too.
Couch potatoes, watch out!
If you come home after a busy day and prefer to rest on the couch, then a dog is probably not for you.
The
four-legged friends need a lot of exercise
, have to go out several times a day and let off steam.
It may be possible to
adjust
your
working hours and, for example, extend
your
lunch break.
Couples have the option of arranging their working hours so that the dog is not alone for too long.
Going for a walk regularly: Walking for
just five minutes after work is not appropriate for your dog.
You should definitely plan 30 minutes to go out with your four-legged friend before and after work.
Dog despite a full-time job: How long can I leave my dog alone?
The dog belongs to the family!
Not only dogs should be man's best friend.
So that trust can be built and the dog training works, you should pay just as much attention to your four-legged friend.
Dogs belong to the family and are therefore social beings.
A guideline is that you
shouldn't
leave
your
four-legged friend
alone for
more than four hours
.
Puppies shouldn't be left alone at all for the first four to six months.
Everything is new for the young dogs, and they have short sleep phases.
