Can Portuguese Water Dogs be left alone?

Yes, Portuguese Water Dogs can be left alone, but only for short periods of time. With such social and affectionate natures, it’s not recommended to leave them alone for extended periods on a regular basis. If left alone for too long, Portuguese Water Dogs can become anxious or bored, which could lead to behavioral issues such as excessive barking or destructive behavior. If you need to leave your Portuguese Water Dog alone, provide them with plenty of mental and physical stimulation before you leave, as well as toys and activities to keep them occupied while you’re away. Additionally, consider enlisting the help of a dog walker or pet sitter if you anticipate being away for an extended period of time.
