I keep all doors in my house closed, except for our upstairs patio where my dogs love lounging in the sun. I live very close to live oak park, the green belt and the strand, which is where I like taking my dogs on walks or runs. There’s also a fun dog park for socializing near by. I go by every owners personal house and pet rules. My main priority is that the pet’s needs are taken care of and we get plenty of play and exercise. Other than that, whatever you say goes, every owner does things differently.
