My boyfriend and I both work 8 hour days. I am home on lunch to play and let our 3 month old Australian Shepherd out. Also in the a.m. and p.m. we work him a lot. Go for walks/runs, and bring him to parks until he is pretty wore out. My question is since he is alone for almost 8 hours a day what things could keep him occupied while were gone? Toys, etc......? He is kept in doors, and right now since he is small we keep him in a large kennel and he bahves very well. But we will allow him his entire room if thats better with maybe a baby gate at the door? Opinions PLEASE!!!!
*also, i realize Aussies are working dogs and need a job, but he is not purebred he is a mix. The only thing that resembles an Aussie is his coloring, otherwise he is very petite. We adopted him because he was practically on his death bed at 6 weeks old. So PLEASE no harsh criticism on his breed because there is nothing we can do about it now. We love him dearly and want the best for him
