Do any of you have your dogs outside for any amount of time?

A boxer would die on a chain. I couldnt imagine doing it.

Mine wont stay outside unless youre out there with them.

Dakota is like this, if you are outside so is he, you're inside so is he, except when it snows I cannot keep him in he begs to go out....

My guys have access to outside (doggie door and go in and out all day and night long. They are inside dogs but love to go out and play or lounge in the sun, or dig a hole :eek: chase a cat, or bark at the neighbors! :rolleyes: I woke up this morning to find them missing from their doggie beds I looked outside and they were running around the yard and Diesel was attacking the sprinklers that go off at 4:00am! :eek: and it was freezing out! Then they tried to climb in bed with me soaking wet! Crazy Dogs!

Inside except for potty breaks.

Carter goes outside a few times a day, mostly for potty breaks. But often times he doesn't want to come in after he goes to the bathroom so I let him stay out there until he wants to come back in.

We have a dog door that is open for Nico and Sebastian (our miniature schnauzer) to come and go as they please. We only close the dog door at night when we go to bed. On nice days, Nico lays in the shade under the trees, chases his toys, chases Sebastian and just generally goes crazy - we just refer to him as a 3 yr old. He will play for minutes or hours depending upon his mood. I work at home so he has learned to use his inside voice when "telling" me he is inside for a nap. It is so cute.

We have been amazed at how quickly Nico learns things - less than 24 hours to use the dog door, about a week to learn that when I have on my headset it is time for the inside voice and so many other things. I cannot imagine NOT having the dog door so he can come and go at his leisure because he is ALWAYS on the wrong side of the door no matter what.

Bayleigh is only outside long enough to go to the bathroom. Or if I am outside!

If we're inside.....Biff is inside

If we're outside.....Biff is outside

My two LOVE being outside when the weather is nice. During the weekends they would be outside all day long if I would let them. I have to make them come in and take brakes once an a while. Then they get their second wind and beg me to let them back out. They love the huge fenced in backyard they have to play in. They have turned my backyard into a dirt track from all the running they love to do while chasing eachother. It soo fun to watch them play.

Shilling wants outside all the time except when it is raining. Buster likes to play for awile then wants to come lounge on the couch. And my baby Casper just does his buisness and is hitting the door.

Dante is inside all of the time, unless I let him out, we go for a walk or to the dog park.
