We are an adult only, one story home on an acre. The dogs have a huge, fenced yard to play in and a doggie door to come and go out as they please. When we are not home, we block access to the backyard. I would hate for someone to escape the yard while we're not home! Dogs are members of the family; they all get lots of love while they're at our house. Usually, guest dogs sleep in bed with us, but we'll crate them if that's what they're used to. We have potty trained our own two dogs, Kodak and Ozzie. I have also volunteered at the Broken Arrow Animal Shelter for a time. We have taken both of our dogs to K9 Manners and More for behavioral training. We always have treats on hand and lots of dog toys strewn about the house.
