I consider my dogs like my kids too, they are part of the family and they must be treated as such, all the love and care they deserve. I don't believe dogs need to be inside a crate because who wants to be inside a cage?? Dogs deserve to run in the yard and have fun, be cared for, feeded and hugged as much as they require, they need love and understanding, especially if mom and dad are bussy, then autie Carolina will care for them. Safe, big yard and a cozy nice home for your furry baby. My 3 furry babies are fully trained and love other dogs. Your dog will feel like part of the family and will be safe for your tranquility.
