I have a fenced yard. Our fence is only two years old and is a 6 foot wooden fence. Our gates both have locks on them. We also have an outdoor camera and a camera we keep on our dogs if we go out to run an errand. We have a home security system as well. We have water bowls both inside and outside. We take our corgis on a walk almost every night, if not every night, anywhere from 30 min to an hour. My fiancé works from home 3 days a week as well so our corgis run in and out all day and sit in our laps while we work or lay on the floors. They are never kenneled unless we have to leave. We have two corgis who love to play with other furry friends and run around in our huge backyard yard. Our pups sleep in our bed with us and are our entire world.
