RE: Do you leave lights on for your dog if you go out at night?
I do like to leave lights on if I go out because I figure if I were a dog and my owners left me alone I would not want to be in the dark by myself. I have not always done that because the first dog I had (Smokey), I was young, like 8 or 9 and I do not remember if my parents would leave light on but I am pretty sure not.
Pets like to be loved and if you leave at night they may feel like they are being abandoned and that is not good at all. So even if it is only 30 minutes or so at least leave on the TV or something so they feel like someone is there especially if they are young like my dog is currently.
