I live on a golf course and wouldn't leave my dog in a fenced in back yard if I had fencing. she ate our blinds and wood trim before we got her to daycare

too much traffic near her. I'd be afraid someone would steal her, honestly.

Our dog is a rescue who is quirky and untrusting (golden retriever). Once we got him in his routine and he grew to like the people there we had trouble changing it.
Stop letting the tail wag the dog.

You really don't know what you're talking about. We adopted him when he was 4 after he'd been torn up by pit bulls and abused by a redneck for his whole life. We're lawyers who are gone for 11-12 hours a day. The first time I tried to leave him in an enclosed (10x12 room) he tried to chew his way out and bled all over the place.
We finally found a solution and he actually loved the people there. Hence, we didn't want to take him away from that to a cheaper solution. Now that the GF can go home and let him out, he can stay at home.

Why not have your dog crate trained and they are in the crate during the day? That's what most people with m-f 9-5 type jobs do with their dogs.
Or their dogs have a doggie door to access. We do a combo of both whenever we leave the house. Pug goes in his kennel, lab has free roam and uses doggie door.
Doggie daycares are great but everyday seems excessive and pricey.

I thought this was a joke. These things (doggie daycares) are real?
Yep, have a female friend in Lakeview who sends her dog everyday. Feeds it a special and very expensive diet. I'd rather give away the dog and save the money.
My lady friend has a dog and she's gone 10 hours a day. We installed a doggy door (not permanent) and he can come and go as he pleases into his fenced in yard. Total cost was $50.

Yeah and if you are concerned about dog tearing up house while you are gone......you can just also place crate to where it's facing doggie door. Dog is in crate inside but still has access to outside.

So you pay $60 a week. That's approx $240 a month or $2,880 a year for someone to babysit a dog. That's incredibly ridiculous.

It is. He wasn't crate trained, and we couldn't get him crate trained after we got him (he's terrified of crates and small rooms). Eventually we figured out if he could roam he was alright. The problem is him being able to go to the bathroom with our schedules, plus leaving him inside all day every day.
He's not an especially active dog, so I don't think we're a bad fit, but we want him to at least be able to stretch it out and run around for a few minutes during the day.

I wish ours was that cheap. And I'd gladly pay 3k a year for my dog, he's awesome.

Most dogs are awesome. That doesnt mean they are incapable of spending time alone in a kennel throughout the day and still be awesome when you get home.

Sure, for some dogs. We adopted a fricked up one, and we're going to stick out that commitment. I don't expect all the dogs in my lifetime to cost this much.

she doesn't go every day, but pretty much every day. it's worth it to us. she is happy, well taken care of and can play to her heart's content while we're at work.
this is our second dog, same mix. first one really didn't need it. this one had separation anxiety and we're just too far away. We'll wean her from day care as she gets older but for now it is the right thing to do.
I know it sounds indulgent. but it's not ridiculous in our situation.

I have an English Bulldog. He sleeps all day anyway, so there is no way I'm paying somebody $15 a day to let him sleep on their floor. He roams the house and sleeps next to my kids bed. (Same place he does at night)
