Can you leave a dog in a hotel room by itself?
Most hotels don’t want animals to be in there unattended. Some will allow it if they’re crated but if yours are yappy, you might very well get asked to leave as soon as you return from eating.

If you do not have enough time to properly care for your dog you may need to consider rehoming them.When you do leave your young puppy alone it’s best to keep them safe in a crate or puppy-proof room where they can’t break anything or get into too much trouble. As your puppy gets older gradually increase the total amount of time you leave them alone. Adult dogs are generally okay on their own for 4-6 hours a day.Can I bring my pet to a Premier Inn hotel?

Do dogs realize how long you’re gone?
While your dog may remember you leaving the house, they cannot gauge the lengths of time you’ve been gone. This absence can trigger stress, often linked to separation anxiety, suggesting some level of time awareness. Dogs, though, don’t grasp the abstract concept of time as humans do. While there’s no exact formula to convert human time into dog time, some behaviorists suggest dogs experience time more intensely. It has been theorized that for dogs, time might pass roughly 5–7 times slower depending on their age and breed. Thus, an hour for a human might feel like 5 to 7 hours for a dog.
