"My puppy loves her and her dogs and this works out well for both of us."
You may find it difficult to leave your dog in the house alone. Regardless of how much time you spend with your dog, dog-parent remorse exists.
One of the reasons we adore them so much is that we are the center of their world. We can't bring them everywhere we go, even if we wanted to.
We are aware that you dislike abandoning your dog at home by himself. However, there are instances when it must be done, just like when you have work.
The rule of thumb is to not leave your dog alone for so many hours if you must leave the house without it. The length of time depends on the age, health, temperament, and behavior of your canine.
It's important to make sure they're secure, which includes keeping an eye on their mental health. Meet u/TunaPotatoMaster, the OP who got a dog to help him emotionally.
Due to work and being in school full time, the OP sometimes spends 12 hours outside. So because he felt bad about leaving the dog alone by himself for so long, the OP asked a friend who works from home and also has dogs if she wouldn't mind watching him.
His girlfriend had a problem with this, as she feels the puppy needs to learn to spend time alone, even if it's most of the day.
A senior dog who snoozes most of the afternoon and a puppy who still needs to be potty trained require very different schedules. Leaving your dog alone can be a sensitive topic, regardless of your experience level as a dog owner.
Redditors agreed that twelve hours is too long for a pup to be left alone, so the OP got the "Not The AH" verdict.
