Where should I leave my dog when I leave the house?

If you are not sure how your dog will react when you leave, you should put your dog in his or her crate. If your dog is not house destructive in the room where he normally sleeps, such as the one where his dog bed is, you can keep him contained there while you are gone. Never leave your dog outside while you are away. Never tether him and leave - dogs have died getting caught in their own tether and have strangled themselves.
