...I'm available 24/7 all days of the week so I have plenty of time to give to the pups. I prefer to take the dogs out as often as possible because I believe if they have that much pent up energy they should be able to get it out. I live in a apartment complex with a half mile of forest as my backyard. The apartment forest is enclosed so no unexpected guest come in and to keep the little wonderers from gettting out. My living room is large and open as i do not own a couch but instead alot of ottomans and chairs. I Allow free rein in my house to all the pups i watch because they should be able to explore and not feel trapped...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
