Considering a puppy- we've decided on a cavapoo/cavoodle. Only thing holding me back is I'm concerned about leaving it alone. I'll take a week off work when we get the pup and start on housetraining. I work 3 days a week, so tues and thurs aren't a problem but on mon, wed and fri, I work all day and the girls (14 and 15 yrs) leave for school at 8:10 and are back at 3:00, so are out for about 6 hours, however, I would hire a dog walker/sitter to be around for 1-2 hours and feed and walk it. So, the pup would be left for 2 hours, then someone home for 2, then left for another 2- girls will walk it again as soon as they get home and it will get plenty of love and attention for the rest of the day. I don't want to commit to one unless I'm sure it will be happy and healthy with being alone like this 3 days a week.
Any opinions really appreciated!
