This is a good question, and a lot depends on how well behaved your dog is!! I typically recommend confinement in a kennel or small room for animals wearing a cone. This helps to minimize their movements and also limits the amount of mischief they can get up to while you are gone. He could knock lamps over, rip the cone on something or even get his head/cone stuck if he tries to go through an area that is too small (e.g. a dog door).
