Small dogs need to be kept in the house. There are always preditors on the lookout for a meal no matter where you live. Owls, Eagles and Ravens to name a few. Not to mention other dogs and even large cats who may come into your yard. If you love your dog and want to keep him safe, keep him inside. When he has to pee, put your boots on and go outside with him.
That depends. If you live in a small apartment and keep the dog inside, he should be small. If you live on a farm and want a dog to chase the snakes, raccoons, and burglars away, he should be large. If you live in a house and want to keep a dog in the back yard, he could be somewhere in the middle.
well think about it whuld you let your dog touch it or keep him or her inside
a good dog for a small back yard is a Yorkie terrier
İf its a baby try to keep it inside and maybe when it gets used to walks and nature take it outside and see how it feels
Small dogs are good for apartment life, but there is one requirement... they NEED a yard your pretty much not going to find a dog that does not need a yard because small dogs are usually energetic and need room to run. However they don't need a huge house there usually fine with cozy apartments:)
I need a small dog, that doesn't get too old, furry, and isn't too wild. I don't have a very big yard either.
keep them inside or inside a fence or kennel
The best way to keep your dog safe from coyotes is to keep the dog inside, especially at night.
Build a fence
Keep your dog inside the house
I always tell folks a little scenario which is based on actual experience and some logic. You install a radio type fence where your dog wears a collar. You train the dog with the collar and set up your perimeter and it actually keeps your dog inside the desired area (which doesn't work for some dogs). What is to keep a bigger dog from coming into your yard and killing / injuring your dog? If you have a big dog and you're not worried about that, what is to keep a small child from wandering into your yard and getting bitten / killed by your dog? Some may say, "The parents should have been watching their child better!" I agree, but is that how it will play out in a court of law?
to keep your neighbors dog out of ur yard ask your neighbor to tie the dog up on the leash..if he doesnt listen just tell animal control when you see him loose.if non of those work try putting pepper around the yard the dogs hate the smell of pepper
