The trend of dual income households has not only created more latchkey children and day care centers, it has left more dogs home alone. And what is poor Fido to do all day until Master comes home? Perhaps shredding pillows, gnawing on shoes, or even devouring an entire living room ensemble will help him ward off the boredom and frustration!

Whether your home consists of dual income work, or your dog is just left alone at home for long periods at a time, Scottsdale BARK can work with you to ensure your dog is getting proper care and exercise.

Dogs left home alone is stressful to a dog, since dogs are very social and crave companionship. All the training in the world isn't going to eliminate the loneliness and boredom, which lead to problems, as we're sure you know about. Furthermore, dogs are remarkably intelligent creatures and soon learn that obedience doesn't apply when you're not present. How many of us have caught our dogs exiting a taboo sofa the minute we walk in the door?

Home alone problems are frustrating because it's impossible to teach or discipline our dogs when we're not there, and if your dog's primary "job" is to keep an eye on things while you're gone, it would be defeating his purpose to keep him locked in a garage, basement or kennel.

Scottsdale BARK can be your answer to the question of what you'll do with your best friends when you're not around to take care of them. We guarantee that you and your dog will feel less anxious and worry-free.
