    Dogs are meant to live outside. They have lived outside for centuries. It has been only over the last couple of decades, mainly in the Western world, where dogs have primarily lived inside. The still primarily outside throughout the rest of the world. Yes, dogs are social animals and prefer to be in a pack of....dogs not humans. We have isolated individual dogs and forced them to be our "companions" for our own selfish reasons.

    To all the people who say its cruel to tie up your dog outside, some of us arent allowed our dog inside. However, they get all the excercise they need, because we walk our dogs too. And our dogs also have houses that are heated and comfy. Just because it lives outside doesnt mean its neglected.

      It’s clear you love your dog and would do even more for them in better circumstances. And of course you would never intentionally be cruel to them in any way. It’s just important to remember that the dogs don’t have a direct tap to your brain to access all the good feelings you have for them. Their brain is separate from your brain and they only know what their senses are experiencing.
      To get a feel for what their world is like. Take even just a few personal hours, set a timer, and place yourself in the exact habitat that you’ve set up for your dog to enjoy. Take a note of the everything you experience. That the dog might experience too.
      “But dog brains and human brains are different!”
      That’s right. And many people have devoted a so much of their time into figuring out what those differences are that now anyone can have a good idea of how a dog experiences the world around them. Dogs need to feel proof that we love them, too. Just like anyone else we hope understands how much we care about them

I only let them out for hours in our back yard during the summer where it’s pretty warm like 70° but in the winter they mostly stay inside my house. It gets down to -30° where I live so they can’t stay outside.

    My dogs are 99.9% of the time outdoor dogs. They love being outside they hate being inside they get nervous so we end up leaving them outside. They only come inside if we believe it's too cold or too worm. They will come on their own accord but after about twenty minutes they are very eager to go back outside. They never destroyed or jumped the fence, the only time they do anything destructive is they love moist dirt and the giant hole in my backyard. I think it depends on the dog and the owner. Some dogs are depressed when outside other really love being outside and having their own space.
    I'm not saying I don't hang out with them in the back because I do but after 10 minutes they go do their own thing and go lay in a pile of dirt and sleep.

    In my country it's actually really uncommon for peopoe to have their dogs indoors (I live in a tropical climate btw). It's a really stupid dynamic if you ask me, but most people here just have dogs so they can chain them up outside and leave them to guard their homes. I have an 8 year old Ridgeback mix, we've had her for literally all her life and she's never been inside our house. She's a really good dog, potty trained to go in the backyard, calm and obedient. But my parents refuse to let her stay inside because of how much she sheds. We have a kennel outside for her to sleep in, she's well fed and we play with her and spend as much time with her as possible. I'd like to think that she's happy with her life outdoors, but I'll always believe that she'd be happier inside.

    I feel like people overdoing and overthinking a lot of things these days. If you don't treat your animals like they came out of your womb, they call u an animal abuser. Actually it is simple. People who don't have time for their animals simply shouldn't get any pets at all. That is the most important rule of all. Think it through before you buy a pet. Then decide if you want an outside or inside dog. That also depends on the country you live. I live in Indonesia and it is very warm here all year, so of course we don't have the winter problem here but at evening it cools down a bit an it is nice for animals to be outside. If you live in colder or 4 season countries you have to consider what kind of dog is suitable for that (if u want an outside dog) . Of course he also need a shelter then, everywhere cause it might rain and so on. So yeah, your dog needs dail attention and you should spent time with him. Again, if you don't have any time to spare or take care of your dog properly don't get one. This goes for every animal.
    I have turtles, rabbits and a dog and they all live together outside and I feel that they are satisfied and not neglected and can walk around freely all day. At night everyone goes to their place/house so nobody will steal them or whatever might happen at night and when i wake up everyone can walk and play freely again.
    So yeah, everything is possible if you do it right, have time and take care of your animals.
    Ps: nothing against this video, there are very good advices.

    How can your dogs protect you if they live inside ? normally it depends if you got a familly pet ( like a chiwawa ... ) or a protection dog for my case i have a suiss shepherd and a doggo argentino they live outdoors in the backyard they are meant to protect the house and the yard from any intruder as to mention i live near the beach far from the city my house is wide open with glass windows i would say sometimes i don't feel safe since i live just me and my mother and little sister so with my dogs around they are very alert and very protective towards their territory they know their job is to protect and i feel happy and relaxed.
    The thing is you need to teach them when they re young so they can adapt well i remember when i got the swiss shepherd she was 2 months old she was put directly in her place in the back yard so she never yawned but with my dogo argentino we got him at the same age but we kept him inside for a week so when we put him in the back yard next to his big sister he used to yawn all day so he can get in for like half a week ! now he know he isn't allowed to go inside and he knows his place and his task

    What if the dog WANTS to be outside ? I have a Newfoundland. He does not care if its raining nor snowing. I am not forcing him either way. If he wants in, I let him in. If he wants out, I let him out. He spends about 80% outside in cold weather. Room temp inside the house in winter when the heating is on, seems to warm for him. In summer, during day, he prefers the cooler inside, but sleeps during the night outside. In my opinion, your dog will clearly show you, when or if he wants to be in or out. Spending quality time with your dog, to me, is a separate topic, and has nothing to do, if your dog prefers outside or inside. It becomes and issue, if you force him either way.

    Personally i feel an outdoor dog is more of a working dog thing, i have a retired sheepdog who has lived outside his entire life and enjoys being outside.
    I do take him in if the weather is particularly bad but for the most part hes desperate to get back out as soon as he can. He has a heavily insulated kennel to protect from cold and heat and has constant access to water and regular food.
    He gets daily attention and normally helps me (as best he can) when working.
    Someone still called animal protection on me despite him being happy and healthy because they never see me walk him down the road.
    We have 800 archers of land he has a disability so i chose to walk him in the fields ...

Snakes... lol but I want a dog... I am a Military Vet... I have been told that I could get a service dog... I don’t know how I feel about having a indoor pet... cleaning up after them in the home is something my wife will never feel comfortable with and I understand... Fur everywhere... I don’t want to get a service animal because I would not take him many places so I don’t need a dog that can go... I spend most of my time in my yard and just would love to have a companion with me as much as I am in the yard... Dogs calm me, but I feel a dog in the house would have the opposite affect if he bothered my wife in any way... I would like a German Shepherd, but I haven’t gotten one yet because I want to make sure I will be caring for him the best. I want a outdoor dog but I don’t want it to bark all night and be that neighbor... lol thanks again for the great video...

She barks all night and all day when its nearly time for her walks. I wish i could get her inside but trust me if your not going to let your dog be inside then dont get it because then the next 10 years of your life will be chore of you taking it out for walks. I love my dog like crazy but it would be way easier if i could just keep her inside. Also if you keep your dog inside then the training that you do with her would be a lot easier. And if i were you thne i would get the service dog if i could

    Well my dog she stays outside all the time. We got her to work sheep but she never did. It's my grandparents dog really but we live on the same farm and I am by far who gives the most attention to the dog. I take her out 3 or 4 hours a day and play football with her and that is her daily exercise. She is a collie so she gets really focused , especially on her ball. She doesn't go on walks to outside places but we do live on a 15 or so acre main farm which is big for where we live which is Ireland. So she has 5 feilds she walks/chases the ball through with me so she definitly has enough space. We have had her for 8 years and for most of that she was really ignored . Fed well and all but not getting the exercise or attention she needed . I remember many a summer of me in my grannies house and seeing her looking at me and then I'd proceed to go watch UA-cam for hours. And I hate myself for it but I was just a kid. But for the past 2 years I've taken it on myself to be a much better person to her to the point I'd say she is my dog now and I love her. She gets plenty of exercise and some human contact with my family when they are outside . I also sit with her at night time for an hour or so to give her company. She is super aggressive to any new people and I really feel that that is some mental things we've caused by having her mostly alone for the start of her life but what's done is done. Either way Ive been focusing on her so much I'd really go as far as saying she is my best friend now and I'm glad. But I was thinking about how when she gets older in a few years what if she looses that interest in the ball , then what ? She can't just do nothing all the time . So I really want to put in the effort over the next few weeks and get her house trained . Just so for future sake she has a fun place to go all day and I've always wanted a house dog so hopefully it goes well. I really want what's best for her. I really want to make up for the horrible start to life she had. But the good news is that my ma has agreed to the ideal of doing it. She agrees it's only fair so I really hope it goes we for everyone's sake

      There is nothing wrong with dogs being outside.

      The issues comes in when you put a dog that has always been a pampered indoor dog outside, Because they are not used to watching tier backs to predators.
      It is better to have two or more if they are going to be outside..
      so they have a companion to watch each others backs..
      Start with an electric fence from a pup..
      And that boundary will be imprinted into adulthood.

We would give it a shelter and an area for it to sleep, but we want one that will be able to live alone for a period of time. We wouldn’t give it no socialisation, we would take it for walks daily. So overall we want a dog that will behave outdoors and be able to handle weather conditions and be able to tolerate being alone. A dog living with us, just outside.

    I had two German shepherds that were both outdoor dogs. We had a huge backyard and bamboo all all over on the corners. They were well fed , ran arounf a lot, got lots of love, toys, and all the care. They even had a nice big dog house area for rain and harsh weathers, we had an air conditioning system for the summer. But despite all this whenevee I told people that they were outside dogs people would think we were cruel. A flood cane and we had to move to a condo. One of our dogs passed away (not bc of the flood ) and now we have one german shepherd. I think being an outdoor dog for her was much easier with another dog but now I spend the whole day with her even bc of quarantine. We have a patio area connected to our garage in our condo, its smaller than our huge backyard but circumstances forced us to be in a condo. Shes well taken care of but it still hurts me to see people judge me just because shes an outdoor dog.

      Sophie Mcdoogal ... Dogs are social beings, and therefore thrive for our human attention. Some people get a second dog, however, if left alone outside, they will then have each other's company (which is good), but both will continue to look for THAT human attention anyways. Besides they will both then get wilder as the animalistic predispositions kick-in.
      I usually challenge people with a very personal question of, why is it that you need your dog to be an outside dog only? The answer may shock you. At the end of the day, your dog will not thrive in that environment. Think it through. Good luck with your decision.

    As far as people complaining it’s too hot outside, a lot of people were raised without air conditioning, it was life, we survived as humans. Animals are meant to survive outside. Chickens, ducks, rabbits, cats, dogs etc, You name is. It’s only been in the last 10 years or so that people try and make leaving your animals outside inhumane. I personally think it’s in humane to leave a dog trapped in the house all day long. It’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. Our animals are only sensitive because their owners are sensitive, animals tend to have anxiety because their owners have anxiety, dogs are babies because their owners make them babies that’s why farm animals/ working animals are completely different. People deciding to leave their animals in or outside of their homes is the owners decision and shouldn’t be looked down upon or praised either way. The goal is to make sure your animals are well taken care of, that’s the point because everything past this is just simply your own opinion. Dogs are not humans and I believe that is mostly the problem, they are treated like humans instead of animals. Love them and respect them and they will do the same, but everyone stance on indoor or outdoor animals it’s completely a preference. And I believe people that think differently needs to be respected and people that think one way need to get over it. It’s none ya business anyways

    My dog hates the indoors, she sleeps inside the garage, has plenty of room to run around and loves the cats in my neighborhood. No one in my neighborhood dislikes her and she doesn't jump she politely wags her tail and comes up to people. I go outside a lot and we make all her meals for her. I wanted her to be a indoor dog but I'm not allowed. She has been in the house and hates it. She is trained, has some shaded areas and is very well behaved. I agree it's not for everyone though, most people spend to much time inside and would barely see their dog.

    My dogs been livening outside for almost 5 years he was trained as a farm dog when we got him as a puppy and we have chickens and ducks and he takes care of them 😭 it’s so cute and he loves being outside and he also barks when unknown cars pull up and we have this big cage for him with his dog house inside the fence and the fence is like maybe 5 ft tall and 20ft long took a long time to build and we have no problems it’s his area and he can do whatever he wants in there and he doesn’t like being inside at all 🤷🏻‍♀️ because believe me having him on a chain near his dog house it’s a bad idea my dog got loose like hundreds of times and went to animal control 7 times and the nighboors threatend to shoot my dog if he went back and we had to pay 400$ 🥶 but he hasn’t gone since then thx god and those nighboors are gone and that was like 2 or 3 years ago so yea in cold winter nights we bring him inside but having a outside dog is not a bad idea at all

    Some dogs are destructive those are the ones that get outside they have torn up your furniture the house the doors and he just don't want it inside of course it can live outside their in a problem with that you just got to train it to be outside you're going to get a couple sleepless nights here and it howl and bark all night but it's perfectly fine for it to be outside as long as it's got a house some bedding water and food that's it

    Having a dog tied up outside the whole day is cruel . Even if your not allowed to have a dog inside you should either buy an electric fence or have a fence .
    I have outdoor dogs , I used to have them tied up when I was little but I had no control over that . One thing I did notice was that my dog was very aggressive the time he was tied up.
    Now that I’m older, I managed to get a big fence around them with more than enough playtime area where they are free and also have there warm protective little home. If there going to be tied up 24/7 don’t have a dog at all .

    Digs are happier, and live longer outside. They were never meant to be inside houses, in big cities. My opinion, farm dogs have the best life!
