[QUOTE="Fran, post: 368535, member: 3"] Andy, I have 3 very large dogs that were adopted from rescue groups. They are indoors most of the time especially in the summer. I don't give them run of the house. They follow me from room to room but they are generally confined to front hallway, kitchen and garage. It keeps the fur to areas that are easily vacuumed. I exercise them twice a day. Once a day in the woods for sure (except in extreme heat). It's a lot of work but they are a breed that needs it. They need to "work". In our county, it is against the law to tether a dog outside for more than 2 hrs. You will get a fine. I understand about outside dogs. I never knew that dogs were to stay in the house as I grew up. Everyone's dogs were outside dogs. Since then I have learned that it isn't the best way to raise a dog. Having it with it's pack(us or each other) makes for a more settled, more balanced dog especially while it is a puppy and learning to be attached to it's pack. Like I said, I didn't know that dogs were supposed to be inside pets but as we learn more, we improve our ways of treating our pets. As it should be. Good luck and I hope you don't feel attacked. We learned that being outside and alone is not the way to raise a puppy that will be well adjusted. [/QUOTE]
