The Benefits Of Raising A Dog Inside The Home
Over the years, I have often been asked by my clients if their hunting dogs should be raised and kept inside or outside of the home or what's my opinion on where they are kept. Some have the theory that if they live indoors, dogs won’t be tough enough when they are out hunting in the fields and in cold water.
In short, my answer is “inside.” There are many reasons I believe a dog should be raised and kept inside the home. When a dog lives inside a home, a stronger bond is made between the dog and the owner, the dog learns more, and it is overall more comfortable.
To be clear, having a dog spend time in a kennel or crate is a good thing. It assists in teaching them patience, routine, housebreaking and allows them to get used to their alone time. A dog should be comfortable staying in a kennel or crate when the owner is at work or when the dog is unattended. Most dogs actually enjoy going into their crates at certain times. Crates should just not be places dogs live or stay in 24/7.
