Moving in with my parents?
My wife and I are building a home and our current house has sold so that means we need to move in with my parents until our house is done. At our current house we have a pretty nice fenced in yard were my Brittany "Brinna" is able to run free and have fun. My parents do not have a fenced in yard, but do have an Australian Shepherd that goes out on a leash when let out. I can't really trust Brinna off a leash and let her run free and my parents will let their dog. I am wondering what others would do in this circumstance. I just don't want to chain her up every time she goes out!
We move out of our current house March 15th and our house should be built in June for us to move in. So that is around 3-4 months living with my parents.
I'm just very concerned with Brinna and will she get the running around, enough exercise and attention she got at our current house. Any feedback on this situation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Brook

Congratulations on your new home to be.
If Brinna will be staying inside the house,
I would just make sure she would be getting
plenty of daily leash walks. You can buy one
of those re-tractible leashes and take her to some
open space. If She will not be inside, can
you purchase or build a temperory GOOD size
chain link secure dog run with shelter?
It might cost you a couple of hundred to make, but
at least you will have the peace of mind that she will not run off. You will still need to take her for plenty of walks and you
can take down the dog run when you move back to your
new home.
My brother-law lives in a place where you are not allowed to
fence your property. He is on his 2nd Golden Retreiver.
She is a house dog, and he takes her for plenty of
walks and jogs with him. I would have suggested
a friends yard or a kennel but that would be to
long of a period for Brinna.
