I have a secure fenced garden and there is a dedicated dog-room (heated conservatory) just off the kitchen which has direct access to the garden. The door to the garden is open whenever the weather allows it! The dog-room has a sofa, dog bed, water and toys. In the warmer weather there’s plenty of shade in the garden, dog friendly water toys and the kitchen is very cool for the dogs. I do have a dog crate if your pet prefers it. My dog Fly likes to take her time to get to know new friends, but isn’t possessive of her space, toys or food. We have at least one 45 minute walk during the day with off lead time (if suitable for your pet). I take regular half days/early finishes from work and use these for longer walks or days out with my dog - your pet can come on adventures too (see pictures for the types of places we go). I sometimes work away with plenty of notice. I have a primary aged son, he’s at school 8.45-5.30. He’s used to dogs and gives them the space they need.
