Your two friends are large animals and they would not be very happy in a crate all day - and might start destroying an appartment out of loneliness.
It sounds simple - zip in for PT - zip home play with the critters - back to work - home for lunch - work - oops have to work late.
And then you graduate and deploy. "SGM I can't deploy - my dog & wolf sitter bailed on me."
Think long and hard on what you're fixin' to do.

Everything you say is true. The pack have never been in a crate before and wouldn't want to start. They are good for long periods of time as long as they get PT every day. I don't really want to be distracted by the pack while I am training; so, I would not leave. I don't really have a problem paying to have someone watch them. I have friends in Columbus. I would never use my animals as an excuse not to deploy. I could get my family to watch my pack for 6-12 months. I guess after getting all this advice, my dilemma is the long term care for my animals. What is my responsibility to my dogs? Can I justify myself?
