My yard is not fenced but I live on 27 acres. Out side time will be leashed for pet safety due to no fencing and me not familiar with the pet. For frequent return customers free run may be available depending on the animals proven training. ( for regular customers I can also work on training commands for an additional charge just ask me about it!!) I do crate when needed( I need to step out to the store ect) or preferred. I also have separate rooms available to separate pets as needed.
