If you must leave your dog for long periods of time on a regular basis, there are many options for you to keep your dog happy and healthy; keeping the dog confined to a small room with his crate's
door opened enables him to go in and out of the crate allowing the dog to stretch his legs and move around while keeping him
safe and secure at the same time; calling a dog walker, or contacting a
doggy daycare facility to take your dog for a walk and allow him / her to relieve themselves during the day.
