If you crate them, how long are they normally in their crates? Ours are crated at night. DH lets them out at 6:30am when he gets up for work, and I put them back in when I leave around 9:00am. DH normally gets home between 3-4, but yesterday he was working his second job and didn't make it home to let them out for a run. I had to work late, and didn't get home until after 7:00pm to let them out. They were fine...wound up of course, but fine. But, I feel like I abused them or something. What is the guide line for crating dogs?
BTW, when they are out, they have a 1/2 acre yard to run in so they get plenty of excercise then. And, they don't get crated if we're only going to be gone for an hour or so.
This probably should have been posted in the "cats and other animals" forum (I just thought of that) so feel free to move it if you need to.
