We have one dog, Max who is dog (large or small) and kid friendly. Our house backs up to a commons and we do not have a fence however we have a long tie out that we utilize and we also take walks. I am active and like to be outdoors, weather permitting! Max sleeps in his kennel at night, which is in our bedroom. When we leave the house Max also goes into his kennel. If he is left unattended he will find something to get into something.
