We have a fully fenced yard for when we want to be outside and also plenty of space to play inside when the weather isn't cooperating! We don't allow our dog to be outside without one of her humans for more than just potty breaks. If she's outside to play we're out there with her and would do the same for yours! Our own dog is allowed on all the furniture as well as our bed and yours would be a well (if that's your rule at home, of course!) we don't use a crate for our girl but have no problem doing so for you if that's a preference. We have two children who've been around dogs their entire lives and we have always instilled in them the idea that animals deserve space and respect - and continue to enforce that with them at all times. They both love animals and are very gentle and loving to all. Your furbaby will be treated like one of our own when they're here :-)
