Night Shift and Dogs

Tips and advice about what?

I would crate train him.....he goes in crate when you go to work, but only if he is 4-6 months old ( able to hold bladder etc....the walk him when you get home....

My dogs were fine once they were adults. I would potty and walk before work then again after work. Depending on weather I would turn them loose in the backyard while I slept. If it was raining (or I didn't have a fence) I would play an intense game of fetch, feed them breakfast, and they would curl up with me while I slept. With my one year old hyperactive lab we would bike instead of walk. (Well I biked, she ran). I would run into problems if I worked more than 2 12 hour shifts in a row though. I finally changed my work schedule so that wouldn't happen. In an ideal world I would like to build a kennel in my garage and put in a doggy door do she could take herself outside to potty at night when I'm working.

When I worked nights (wife had a normal 8-5 job) I would walk them when i got home form work...fed them..then went to sleep....work up...walked dogs..fed them...chilled....went to work....they did very well.....but each dog is different.....1 could get a dog walker to come in, but that would prob interrupt ur sleep.
