Both of my girls are inside dogs when we are not home. One stays in the laundry room with her bed and food/water and the other in the bathroom with her bed and food/water. They like to go outside and play but only if I'm out there with them and if I sneak in the house then they are at the door whining, especially the older one. The little one will stay in the yard by herself but I have to watch her since she can escape under the fence. So, they are inside dogs except when I go out with them.
