Even worse than ignoring your dog is abandoning them completely for periods of time. Ideally, if you have to go away, you should check your dog in at a professional dog boarding facility or hire a dog sitter. An alternative is to have a friend or family member get familiar with your dog so they can take charge when you’re away. Leaving your dog alone in your home, even for a day, can lead to distress and bad behavior like chewing.
