In Or Out!

My dog loves to be outside. After a time when I've brought her in, she pants so hard, I have to let her out again. These days, I just let her when I need to send the hubs to the doghouse! LOL

I have always called Huskies the in and out dogs ... But I have to say frost hates the outside because he was babied to much. Now the other dog we just got loved to go outside when we first got her, but know she realizes that she can be inside and not be in trouble she likes to lay inside.

We have 6 ft fences all around our back yard so during the day, our 2 staffys are locked outside unless it's raining. Of a night time, they are able to come in & out as they please as I leave the back door open for them so they can go to the toilet. It's coming into winter here & now when a cool breeze comes along, our boy will sit at the back door whimpering like a little child coz he's cold & wants to come back in - BIG SOOK lol

Sounds like a normal animal to me.

don't know what kind of dog you have, but no matter the breed YOU SHOULD TAKE HIM OUT NO LESS THAN TWO TIMES A DAY TO RUN OFF HIS ENERGY! why don't you watch "dog whisperer" with cesar milan, and "animal planet," and, why don't you do research on what dogs need. how dare you tie him up outside to give him "fresh air." he needs exercise. when he runs off his spent-up energy, he will calm down. now get your own butt outside with him and sniff the fresh air. i find it abusive to not take care of an animal. dogs NEED human contact and running outdoors. go to the park.

A good solution to that is to have a kennel or fenced in piece of property. Then the dog can't hurt himself, and no other animals can hurt him. Think of this- if a stray dog or vicious animal goes to attack your dog while he's on the leash, he wouldn't be able to get away. But if you have a fenced in yard or kennel, he would be safe, as well as not being able to hurt himself. When I had a dog, we had a kennel for him. He was inside for part of the day and always in bad weather, but we let him run around in the kennel and play when the temperature was nice and he wanted some room to run around. It doesn't cost all that much to fence in the yard (well it depends) you may want to consider doing that.

Well I have 2 dogs shayla is my oldest she is 8 an would rather stay in the house sleeping on the chair next to me Now Kovo he is still young he is 3 an he wants to be outside running the fence line all the time its so funny watching him he barks an the dog who is OLD comes up to the fence between our homes an Shayla will come out an the three of them just race back an forth Kovo is the one that acts like the big kid

Hi fwiddy, I remember the family dog bruno when we were small he was all over the house and didn't like it. He was so spoiled that he didn't know who likes him and who doesn't. My dad was included on the doesn't and one day he run and jump on him and that was the end of Bruno. Some dogs are like that not knowing what to decide on. Sounds just like a human being isn't it . He will calm down after a while.

Hi fwidman, Ahhh, the poor dog, in the UK everyone has the dogs indorrs with the family as they are part of the family and some dogs sleeps on the bed although the dogs has its own bed, no one ever tie their dogs out side as its is cruel in our country and also the barking will the the neighbours mad and starts ringing for the RSPCA. The only time the dogs are outside is when they get taken out for a wold down to the local shops or in the park, no, all dogs stay indoors like one of the family. Tamara

my dog was very well potty trained. i had a little door for the dogs on my main door and whenever he had unfinished business to take care of he would just go outside and do them. i never had a problem with him except when i put him in one of those dog purses. he hates being in the purse, he always wants to walk on his own and i don't mind cause i don't have to use a leash on him, he is very obedient and i never even sent him to obedience school. i love my dog very much and he is neutered. always neuter your dogs! my dog loves all his little chew toys and chewy bones he never ever tempers with the garbage or anything else but he does tend to dig holes in my garden which i quite dislike but hey, its in his nature and he's just doing what dogs do. try buying your dog some lovely toys or long lasting chewable sweeties for dogs. i know its disgusting but my dog loves the liver flavored ones and they give him a nasty breath so i only give it to him once a month because its good for his teeth. i recommend you get one of those toys where they make squeaky sounds when they get pressed cause dogs are just amazed by them. good luck and god bless. you sound like a wonderful owner and im glad you treat your dog right. cheers.

Dogs are like humans with regard to feelings. they maybe not smart and as intellectual as we are but they know the feeling when they are being kept or held on from something. they're like children simply because they either want to have fun outside or stay inside. but putting that dog on the ropes is probably a "No No for the Dog. he simply wants to be free from doing what ever it wants. just prevent him from barking or biting a stranger.

He is not a crazy dog, u r a crazy owner and he's letting u know by barking. He hates to be tied up... Get a cheap portable pen and dog house instead of a leash. Leashes r for walks only. Always luv and care 4 your pet/dog they will always luv u..

Our dogs will literally bust down the door to get outside on a nice day, so they are primarily outside. We have 5 fenced in acres and they stay on our property and stay out of trouble. They are free to come in as they want, though. That doesn't happen often! They are spoiled by their freedom to roam outside on our property and who can blame them! They are very well taken care of. Now, we have a hairless Chinese Crested who for many reasons we keep in the house (ex: sunburn, no hair, so tiny)...but when we (my husband and I) went to the store and it was the first time we had our windows open since last fall, my mom was here watching our daughter, the dog tore through the screen in our windows to get outside with the other dogs and to be with my mom and daughter. She will jump up as high as she can and beg and whine to get outside. She does get a couple hours out there with me - when it isn't so sunny and when the other dogs aren't so excited and might accidentally step on her.
