Your dog(s) is going to love coming to play with Cope (our 16 month old lab) and run around on plenty of land, watching the chickens and horses. We do have an in ground electric fence that is around about 3 acres, as well has trails to go on walks on the rest of the property. One of us is home most all day Saturday- Monday and Wednesday and dogs only stay in kennel for up to 4 hours on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. We are very active outside so the dogs are outside a lot of the time. On days when the weather is to cold or wet the dogs can play in the 2500 sq foot unfinished basement that is heated and cooled.
