Thread: Are your dogs allowed indoors?

    Are your dogs allowed indoors?

    Are your dogs allowed inside?
    My dog's arent. 12 dogs is too much for my dogs to be inside. Instead, we have a heated barn outside with beds and kennels for the pups when it gets cold outside. If it's spring or summer they are kept out of the barn and sleep in their dog houses I have thought about keeping a few dogs inside, but didn't think it'd be fair.

    Also, I apologize for deleting my other poll I made, but I forgot to say if my dogs were allowed inside, as well as I forgot to put a poll in the thread.

    Yes, mine all live inside and I wouldn't have it any other way. They're rarely ever outside - they all much prefer to be inside unless I'm outside with them to keep them occupied. Otherwise they just stand at the door whining to be let in.

    Yes

    Mine are mainly inside, although they are allowed to stay out as long as they like.

    Yes of course, I would never keep my dogs strictly outside. They love to be outside and Nebo will often spend a lot of time sleeping the yard (his choice..only during the day when I'm home) and they play out there all the time...but the rest of the time they are in the house.

    Yes. I do not believe in "outside dogs". Dogs are social creatures.

    12 is not too many to be indoors. All of my dogs have indoor access. A minimum of 14 sleep inside every night. The ones that don't do so by their own choice and are welcome inside if they change their minds, which they occasionally do at 3am--my hubby calls it the magic doorbell bark that gets me up to let them in.
    If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you must find the courage to live it.

    My 6 are inside dogs. We take them outside to go potty and to play, but then they come back inside.

    Mine are inside dogs, both were picked up as strays before I adopted them, so I think they've had enough of living outside!!

    I don't know how Sierra ever survived without a comfy bed to sleep on.

    I don't believe in "outside dogs" - my 4 dogs live inside and are allowed outside whenever they please.

    Yes, all 5 of mine spend most of their time indoors and are only outdoors when supervised. I wouldn't have it any other way.
