I have owned and trained dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities throughout my life. I currently live with 2 hounds who love other dogs and would enjoy having friends over for play time. Our home has a good-sized fenced yard with a covered patio and a dog door into the house for free range play. I work from home. The dogs and I spend time together in the yard and walk every evening to the neighborhood park. My yard is cleaned daily. My yard has a block wall with locking gates. There is a covered patio for shady outdoor time and a dog door into the house so that they can go in and out as they choose. If a dog is afraid of the dog door, we also have regularly scheduled group yard time. I keep water indoors and out. Dogs get brushed in the evening and are allowed to sleep on dog beds, furniture, or in a crate.
