If your dogs are not used to being along for several hours at a time, it could be stressful for them - and stressed dogs can get into trouble. My dogs are alone all day - I work. However, Keno is kept in a exercise pen with toys, etc., so he can't get himself in trouble. Windy just sleeps all day. Which leads me to a connected thought - for those who are home all day, do you make sure that your dogs are isolated/contained for several hours at a time, just in case a situation comes up where you would be gone all day. I have seen serious issues arise when an at-home person had to go back to work and the dogs were not used to being alone.
