He may be alone but he really enjoys his own company.
How do you know he enjoys his own company? Dogs are pack animals and crave company, canine or human.
I'd recommend 2 dogs. Dogs crave company.
My 2 play with each other constantly and are great company for each other when we are at work. They come in during the evening and sleep outside at night in their dog home. They're like 2 peas in a pod and often share their inside bed with each other even though they each have their own.
A dog left alone all day would probably go a bit mad.
To be honest, looking after 2 dogs isn't twice the work of looking after one.
How do you know he enjoys his own company? Dogs are pack animals and crave company, canine or human. My neighbours dog is left alone in the garden all day and howls most of the time - it's very distressing to hear. When they had 2 dogs he never cried. Would you consider getting a second dog for company?
I know this because my parents live next door and there doesnt be a sound out of him. When their two dogs come round, he gets distressed and doesnt like it, and so I KNOW that my dog enjoys being alone more so than being with others.
He was raised alone, he's 2 now and thats how I will be keeping it. As an owner, you know what your animal does and doesnt like.
That's exactly our situation. For those 3 days, we have a walker come in and take the dog out with other dogs for 1-1.5 hours. On all days, she gets a 45 minute off lead walk in the morning and another walk in the evening. She lives indoors with us and is never alone really for more than 4 hours.
She appears to be perfectly happy and I certainly think her life is pretty good. She is a rescue dog.
