[quote=Anonymous]There are lots of options, and you can choose the option that suits your dog's personality.  My dog is very "social" so he likes a cageless environment, but he's also a little overwhelmed by big dogs, so he likes places where they separate by size.  This is his favorite:  http://www.wagtimedc.com/.  Other dogs might prefer to stay at home with a pet sitter or go out to the country and have a private run.

As someone who got a dog when I had a 10 year old, though, I'd caution you to think down the road.  The first 2 years with my dog were great.  He came to soccer practice, and to soccer games, and we spent our weekends at the dog park or hiking in the mountains.  It was lovely.

Now, I have a high schooler.  He stays after school every day for some kind of practice, and the poor dog is home alone.  On the weekends he's off doing his thing, and I'm with the dog, but I don't really want to go to the dog park by myself.

And in 4 years, he'll be off to college and I'll really be alone with the dog.  [/quote]
