My family is at work or school for 8 hours, from monday to thursday. Is it ok to keep a small or medium size dog on its own that long? We have a large garden for it to run around in a space for a kennel and we will lay food out for it in the morning, after giving it a walk.
yeah that sounds like a good environment for the dog. As long as there isn't anything he can hurt himself on, and there's nothing out there he can ruin. Keep his kennel open for him to go inside and out as he pleases and there should be a place for him to do his business... I assume you are keeping him outside while you're gone. If it gets really hot in your area you might also consider a small pool so he can cool off and have enough to drink.
as long as his environment is good, he should be fine for several hours
Sure...in this day and age, people have to that in order to put food on the table, and in the dog's dish...:)
As long as there's shelter from the weather, lots of fresh water, and you walk and feed him, you're doing all that you can to make his life a good one.

yes, that sounds good. But remember that it MUST have shelter and SHADE, not just a dog house in the broiling sun..Plenty of FRESH water and food...and when you arrive home, send time with him...
yes it will absolutly be fine to leave him alone, all you gottta do is make sure he has shelter and food and water, and maybe if he is lucky a few boness or treats
Yes its fine just leave him some food and water
