I am looking for a pet for companionship, and I don't mind to train it and take it for walks and to the park etc... but at the same time, members of my house are not home from about 9-5ish every day except weekends. Is this too long of a time for a dog to be left at home alone? I likely won't have a problem establishing rules for an adopted dog, but you never know.

Depends on the dog. I have a lab and a bichon/shihzu/toy poodle at my house and the lab we leave outside if it's not raining, and the other one we leave in the house, but it's not from a full 9-5 its about 8:30-3 and then some days someone is home all day. My dog's do just fine, but if the lab doesn't get to go for a walk for a couple of days if I get busy at night he starts going squirly (sp?) Dogs are awesome.
That's my lab "jake" in my avatar.
