Work from home - Dog Boredom?

[Chocolate Hero]

Im currently doing my masters degree, is it normal for the dog to sleep most of the day when im working? I'm just wondering if he's getting bored, i do give him his kong and he has his toys but either wants to play with me not on his own (& i cant get my work done) or just sleeps. Is it just him maturing & not needing to be on the go constantly?

Riley will do this. If hubby working from home and Im out say, he will sleep and slump all day if hubby is busy, he has always been like this.
I wouldnt worry if I were you. I think most cockers will do what the household is doing, ie if nothing is happening then mostly they will sleep.
If I let him, Riley would sleep all day, apart from the couple of hours after he gets up in a morning.

Charlie will try his luck a few times and then just sleep if I'm working from home.

I work shifts and I'm off today, they're both just sleeping, if I go into a different room theyll follow get comfy and go to sleep. They don't pester me.

I've worked from home since maggie was a pup - she knows when I'm working because of where I go (rest of the time the study door is shut  ) and she sleeps most of it  She'll come up for a cuddle but for the most part knows its time to just relax.

Oh how lucky you are, I long for the day Teal just goes to sleep as there is nothing to do.

Same here  - though obviously not with Maggie

Same as here too! Molly knows that when I'm on the computer/in the study it's quiet time...then when she's decided it's lunchtime around 1pm she'll patiently sit by me and look up at me, waiting for my attention  we then have walkies and playtime for an hour, and then it's back to work for me and a sleep for Molly.

Jeez its a real cockers life isnt it  Im coming back in my next life as a cocker owned by someone on COL

I work from home too - all mine sleep in the conservatory all morning and then walk around lunch time then come back and mooch around and/or sleep most of the time... I see it as a sign of contentment rather than boredom

Currently he's asleep in a chair he shouldnt be but is too cute to move (bad me) & is alternating between snoring, chewing or barking in his sleep. Which is making me laugh  . have to agree coming back as a cocker is looking like a dam good option.

Contentment is probably the more correct, just thought a worker would continue the all go, not that im complaining that he settles.

They can be perfect company without demands
Miya is curled up round my legs as I reply seems to me they can be as playful or dormant as you want them to be, where I go she goes and that can be a long way or round the corner or whilst on my laptop,  she's asleep
