7. Trapping a new dog in the kitchen or in a kennel for eight hours a day is a recipe for disaster

A new dog is a tremendous responsibility. It needs a week or so of near-constant contact with its owners to adjust to a new environment, become thoroughly house-trained, and get an idea what the rules of the house are. You can't leave a new dog alone all day without attention or it will find ways of getting your attention. Once the dog is used to the surroundings, its owners and their rules, leaving it alone for more time is acceptable. Can you put a dog run out back?
