... be 11 month) westie puppy while we go on holiday for 17/18 days due to time difference. My dog lives with me, my mam and dad, we are all doing. I am really worried about leaving him as it 1st time and was wondering if anyone could give me some advice.
I have 2 different options for who to leave him with and the pros and cons of each option
1. My uncle - comes down my house many times a weeks. He spend loads of times with my dog.
Pros:
My uncle and dog are close, always spend time when he s down, takes dog for walks, plays with him so he wouldn t be with a stranger.
My dog would stay in same house as uncle would stay here.
Cons:
My uncle works 6am-2pm and he would be in his cage all day.
My uncle has never had a dog so doesn t really know how to look after him.
2. My neighbour - they never really see each other.
Pros:
My neighbour stays at a caravan park most of the time so would never be in cage, would be adventuring.
My neighbour has had dogs and is a dog lover so knows how to looks after him.
Cons:
My dog will have to stay in a strange place with strange people.
Neighbour has dog and worried my dog will be bit scared.

My dog is hardly ever in the house by himself and only goes in his cage on a night but we are going to start leaving him on own in cage while we go out to get him used to being alone.

Any advice on what to do is greatly appreciated! Thanks
