4. Have the dogs in a secured confined backyard, where there is no chance for the dogs to escape, or for someone to easily break-in or trespass into your property (WARNING: DO NOT CHAINED THE DOGS OUT!)
5. Have DAILY contact with your dogs and spend a couple of hours with them throughout the day (FORGETTING or NEGLECTING your dogs will create behavior and temperament problems, with potential unstable aggression)
6. Allow your dogs inside your house every so often and let them feel part of the pack (family)
7. Have the dogs fully obedience trained, and
8. Walk and exercise your dogs every day (maybe one day off out of the week)
Then, your dogs will be OK. However, if you cannot provide all of the above, then forget it; you will have serious problems with forgotten and neglected backyard dogs. Don't even try. |
My question is on Number 8: This week it has Rained nearly EVERY day so I am unable to take harley for a walk however I have been playing inside with him and running him around the house, is this sufficiant until the rain subsides? I just want to make sure he is getting enough exersize.
