Can Glen of Imaal Terriers be left alone?

Yes, Glen of Imaal Terriers can be left alone for short periods, but they are social dogs who thrive on companionship. Like many terriers, Glens can develop separation anxiety if left alone for too long or too frequently. They enjoy being around their family members and might become stressed or bored if isolated.

Ensuring they get plenty of exercise before you leave can help your Glen relax while you’re gone. Providing toys, puzzles, or interactive games can help keep them occupied when you’re away. This can reduce boredom and prevent destructive behaviors. If you work long hours, consider having a dog walker, pet sitter, or another pet for companionship to help alleviate loneliness.
