[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dog stays on a run during the day in our fenced yard.  Can't imagine having him stuck in the house for 8 hours.  He comes in when we are home or is outside playing with the kids.  What I think is wrong is the people that crate their medium & larger dogs for 8 hours.  Would you rather be stuck in a crate or chasing squirrels & hanging out on the deck.[/quote]

You understand that in an increasing number of jurisdictions, it is illegal to chain your dog up outside like that. And the options aren't just sticking your dog in a crate all day or chaining your dog up outside in the cold and heat. You could, you know, let the dog stay in the house. [/quote]

Our house is small our yard is big.  The dog has more room to move around than if he were inside.  When it gets hot, he goes under the elevated deck (which is 20 degrees cooler we checked) & hangs out in a baby pool.  The run is about 70 yards long with a chain that allows him to move at least 35 feet out.  We have two cats, if the dog stayed inside they would need to be seperated which means even less room for everyone.[/quote]
