If you live in a city and have no backyard or similar, you should not be allowed to own a dog.
I don't have one and I'm pretty sure my dog has a lot more daily stimulation than someone with a backyard. As if backyard = happy dog 🙄
I have both a dog and a backyard. Walking is far more interesting and stimulating for him than letting him run around in the back.
I like to frequent a nearby pond + trail and every time I go I'll see dogs there looking so happy. It makes me want to adopt a dog just so I can take them on walks there too.
Have yard with dog door, it's good for a bored sniff, and occasionally howling at an ambulance. Doesn't come close to the stimulation he gets from the park or some active interaction. It made housebreaking easy, but that's it
My dog absolutely hates being outside in the yard, but she loves walks and hikes. Unfortunately the nearest place that’s safe for us to walk is a long car ride away because I live in a somewhat rural area. So she only ever gets these on weekends when I’m able to dedicate several hours to it. If I were to live in a city she’d be getting a ton more stimulation daily.
