# 8 NO MESS IN THE HOUSE
What does your home look like when you return from work? Is it in disarray, with broken house plants and torn pillows and cushions? If so, your furry friend is likely unhappy. They may be bored out of their mind or have too much pent-up energy that needs an outlet.
Content dogs have sufficient mental and physical stimulation and do not cause chaos when left alone. While dogs may occasionally act mischievously, a consistently messy home is a sign that something is missing in their life.
