a 6 mo standard home alone? Specifically in a puppy pen w/ an open crate? I feel like the space is too small for Bella but the few times I gave her the run of the kitchen area (gated off) for more than 2 hours she was seriously destructive. As in if there was nothing she could reach she ripped of the baseboard!
Well I screwed up! I am still not used to this puppy keeping me on a short leash from home, so to speak, and volunteered to do something tomorrow that would have me away from home for 8 hours. The most I have ever left her in her pen is 4. Everything was fine when I got home but I'm sure her Kong had long since been emptied. I wish I could leave her in the room again so she would have more room to chase her toys around, but she's really proving that she loves to counter cruise and now chew wood!
What's the most you'd leave a dog this age?
