I believe every dog should get plenty of exercise and be out as often as possible vs being in a cage, room or inside the house. Dogs by nature are social animals, they are uniquely able to thrive with people and other dogs. A dog is happiest and functions best with human companionship. Domesticated dogs NEED the space to learn off leash obedience in public areas, but we rarely allow them the opportunity to do so. It’s beneficial to the Dog to be trained and be social and you should give your Dog ample public opportunities to practice their obedience and social skills. My objective would be to take your dog to an off leash park, so he can be free and have plenty of exercise as well as socialize with other dogs; but I'm not opposed to only walking your Dog A tired dog is a happy and healthy dog PS.
