Background [edit]. In 1985, the DoD called for an extensive review of the education and training functions. At the same time, President Reagan established the Packard Commission to review the management of the DoD.
Itâs recommended that four hours is the longest that dogs should routinely be left alone for. Every dog will be different, dependant on how old they are and what they are used to. For example, four hours would generally be too long for a very active, young puppy.
First, teach your dog that being home alone is okay. Every dog should be able to stay on his own all day without falling apart emotionally or becoming destructive. From the time you first get him, whether heâs a puppy or an adult, practice leaving him alone.
