Frankly, there's just no one size fits all answer, it depends on your dog's age, breed, and overall personality. Young puppies under 6 months old should not be left alone for more than 2 or 3 hours because of their bladder control and risk of separation anxiety. Adult dogs are generally okay on their own for 4-6 hours a day. But, many dogs are good at adapting to being alone for 8-9 hours while you are at work if they are provided with enough space to comfortably move around. Once a dog can handle being alone for 4 hours, it should be able to manage 8 hours on its own. If your dog doesn't like being left alone, or you are going to be away longer than 8 hours, you can bring your pup to a doggy daycare facility. The Basset Hound, French Bulldog, Chihuahua, and Pugs are some of the breeds that are best at being left alone for long periods.

It’s not a yes or no question. How long your dog can stay home alone completely depends on your dog, their age, and their physical and emotional needs. Your dog’s physical needs and what they’re used to determines how long they can stay home alone. How long your dog can stay home alone also depends on what daily exercise and interaction they need from you. Dogs are social and typically prefer to be with others. Some may always struggle with being alone. Crate train them, Kenneled dogs can stay alone longer, especially if they’re properly crate trained.
