Can I leave my poodle home alone ?
We generally advise against leaving your poodle home alone for many hours. So before you make a commitment to take a poodle home with you and risk leaving your poodle home alone think carefully about how much time you can devote to it: tell us about your lifestyle and habits so that we can suggest how to go about it, locate the right puppy for your habits or sometimes unfortunately advise against adopting a poodle puppy if your habits are not suited to the needs of this magnificent breed. Poodles can spend time alone while you are at work, but it is important to take a few steps to make sure they are comfortable while you are away. Poodles are very intelligent and affectionate dogs known for their strong bond with their owners.
Because of this, they tend to suffer from loneliness if left alone for extended periods. To help your poodle manage alone time, you can start with short absences, gradually increasing the duration to get him used to it. Leaving interactive toys, such as ones that hand out kibble, available will help stimulate his mind and keep him occupied. Another useful measure is to create a comfortable and safe space where the dog can feel protected, such as a kennel with his favorite toys. If you work outside the home for many hours, consider having a dog sitter come to the house or take him to a day care for dogs. This will ensure that your poodle gets a chance to socialize and exercise. Finally, before going out, a long walk will help him to release energy and relax during the day.
