re: Pet owners question: crate training and leaving dog out to roam

Crating for dogs is natural. It is similar to their den instinct. Make sure your crate or kennel is adequate in size and allows them to stand, reposition, etc. Put a special chew toy that is only available to them when in the crate.
If you are going to be away for most of the day I would suggest using a baby gate or pet gate and confining them to one room. Depending on the dog's age and breed, you might want to jog with them or bring them on a long walk in the morning before you leave.
Lastly, maybe consider having someone come in to walk your dog during the day if you will be away for an extended period of time. Many app services exist today which allow you to easily find a local walker near you.
Good luck!
