The more a dog is outdoors, the less behavioral control you have. It's easier to solve four or five indoor problems than one outdoor problem. When he's out, your dog is alone whether you're home or not. The media is full of stories about the family dog saving everyone's life during a fire. An outdoor dog has an address, not a home.
Dogs offer real value as companion animals.
Stop behavior problems and start enjoying real protection and companionship. Bring your dogs inside. Dennis Fetko, Phd.
