I am always interacting with the dogs and never leave them unattended, im really active with dogs as well, i like to walk the dogs but i really love going on runs with them. The dog wont spend too much time in the back yard it will only be there to get fresh air and take care of business. I am really cautious of what they eat i will speak to the owner and see what the dog can or can not consume. I keep all chemical and medication high in cabinets locked so the dogs cant get to them. I habe an extra room where the dogs can relax and play if they need to. My neibors do have dogs but they are all finced in.
