Moved to a new house where family has decided that dogs cant sleep inside the house. Well, this surely is just temporary as, as soon as I move to my own house in a year or two, they'll have their own place to stay.
As of now, my dogs are currently crated in the garage. I live in a tropical climate and hence no need to worry about them getting cold. During daytime, I let them play within a small confined area/playpen then put them back in their crates.
As I have to live with the present condition, I intend to build a kennel/dog run similar with the one in the picture. Half of it will be placed inside a balcony (which of course is connected to our house). With that, I am just 8 to 10 meters away from them during bedtime.
I dont know why I am a little hesitant to do this. Perhaps, I am just posting this to ask for confirmation that it's ok to do this thing. Few years ago, I was scolded by some forum members (doberman owners) when I asked for a good design of a kennel, saying it would be cruel to put them there instead of inside the house.
What are your views on this?
Care to give me an idea why others construct outdoor kennel when their dogs are going to live with them inside their house anyway?
Any suggestions to make it less "cruel" if those forum members were right?
By the way, my dog is being trained for IPO. (Just in csse that information matters.)
Might come up with few more questions.
Thank you!
