I definetly don't believe that she is being starved for attention. I see people once a week if even, otherwise I am occupied with Vida unless she is sleeping. I get home from work, we go for a 90 minute jog and train through the park. A few hours later, after she gets up and I get up, we play in the house and yard and usually go explore around the park again. I let her our with my moms dog because she can have a lot more fun with him that bringing a toy back to me and chasing it. Come back home, give her lunch and make sure she rests after lunch (to avoid bloat, aswell)
I sleep for a few more hours. I work graveyards so she's going to have to get over not being able to play with me for 3 hours. She is usually out in the living room chewing on a bone and sleeping, supervised by my mom. I get up, get ready for work. Feed her, walk her, play with her. Leave for work. She stays out of the crate until my mom goes to bed about 3-4 hours after I leave for work so this is around 12-1am that she is crated.
I rush home after work (off at 7.) And I am usually home by 8, give or take 15 minutes. Then we do it all over again until I have a day off. Daycare is not an option at this point because I don't trust people enough. The daycare I worked at does not pick up and drop off dogs that are out of the area, which I am.
For the hours I work, I am sure enough time is being spent with her. I know it was just your opinion but I was a bit offended by it. Not looking for argue about it (things heat up easillllllly on here)
When she bites me for attention she is not going to get it.
She is not in puppy classes or anything because I have no means of transportation for her. She does private training, however.
