scalesntails 118 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 I keep mine in the house. I have 3 dogs and they don't take up much space and it in no way affects their working ability. It also means I don't have to bother building, maintaining and heating kennels and there is far less chance of my dogs getting stolen. 2 Quote Link to post

jf1970 328 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 my plan is to do it gradually, a few hours every day, then hopefully they will adjust, the funny thing is, they were all born outside Quote Link to post

chilly 59 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 My air dale which is a non worker has always been in the house , but now that I have the pup which will be a worker , they go out the garden in the day with access to hall way where the pups bed is while we are in, and in the night they both sleep in side the air dale in the house and the pup out in the hallway. I think as the pup gets more trustworthy and not chewing and shitting she will be aloud more access to the house . They love it inside , so much so they will stand by the back door if it is raining waiting in the hope they can come in getting soaked rather than take shelter out the garden where they got a 10 foot x 10 foot roof over part of the garden between the shed and back and side wall, and a little enclosed bed area built onto the side of the shed lol thick as shite lol That area was going to be a kennel space the 10 x 10 roofed area and sleeping bit which is 3 sides all block work tin roof and the compleetly blocked sleeping area with a door all that was missing was the front side where the fencing or mesh needed to go, so when I had the pup I put up a tepery bit but she just cryed the hole time she was out there , next door wasn't to happy so I just let them free out the garden now and in at night Quote Link to post

southcott 9 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 mine are in the house, and free run of the farm and utility if we are out. Pup and little lurcher go in the kennels if we are out all day, as she clears any fence ! Quote Link to post
