How did you score?!
0-3 It sounds like your dog is pretty relaxed and not overly reliant on you. They would no doubt love extra walks, but they may be able to wait until you can take a break.
4-6 Your dog may be struggling to get their needs met whilst you're stuck at your desk. They would absolutely benefit from some additional walks or even day care to help to break up their day, as well as getting some more mental and physical stimulation.
7+ Don’t worry, we're here for you! We'd definitely recommend scheduling regular walks and/or day care for your pooch so they get their own routine, separate from your work schedule.
