[NAGDU] Taking my dog to college football games

[Lisa]

Hi Andy,


I wouldn't leave him at home for such a long period of time when he's 
new with you and you didn't practice staying alohne with him yet.

5 to 6 hours is very long. It might be okay in emergency situations or 
with an old, relaxed dog but I wouldn't recommend it with a new, active 
dog who hasn't had so much time to settle.

I know it doesn't help in your current situation with the game tonight 
but for the future you might want to consider a dog walker or someone 
like that for these occasions.


Lisa
