How long do you leave your dog for?

We’ve been considering getting a dog, but there are two days a week where the dog would be alone for 2 hours in between my husband leaving by for work and me coming back. I’ve seen quite conflicting advice on what is ok for a dog to be left alone. I am wondering what others do with theirs?

We often leave our dog for around 4 hours. If we are all out all day our dog walker comes to take her out around midday.

If your dog’s been walked, 2 hours is fine
