I have raised many dogs in my life. I know it's difficult leaving your fur baby locked up while your away. So don't! I have almost 2 acres and most of it is fenced. Let your dogs run around, play with kids, and other pets. Please don't be mad at me if your dog doesn't want to leave! It had happened 😀 My 2 dogs are very sweet, social if need be, but more introverted. My setup is perfect to allow my dogs to socialize, your dogs to play, but also my dogs have their private place when they need a break. I do everything possible to make your babies feel safe and loved. It's not uncommon for my boards to miss me when they go! My family calls me the dog whisperer. I think I may have been reincarnate from a canine form!
