If you live in a neighborhood or fairly public area, then you run the risk of dog theft. Dog thieves look for purebred dogs that can be easily captured when the owner is away. An adult dog can normally fend for himself; but, puppies can be easily taken. A dog kept outdoors can also be teased by children, neighbors, and other animals. Your dog should be secured, but not necessarily chained. Chained dogs are often a target of animals passing by. You have to be more careful with outdoor dogs and fleas, though indoor dogs require the same care. Because they are more likely to get dirty, dogs outside often require more baths. It is also recommended to provide them with an outdoor dog bed and elevated pet feeder.

Advantages of keeping a pooch indoors:

When your pet is inside, he is closer to you; which is probably where he wants to be. You can keep an eye on him, and dog theft is less likely. He can be a guard dog indoors, too. Teaching him the rules of the house is a good start for obedience training, which can be made simple with an electric dog training collar. An indoor dog is sheltered from harsh weather and other outdoor tormentors. An indoor dog normally requires less bathing.

Disadvantages of keeping a pooch indoors:

An indoor pooch can be a nuisance to guests and other household pets. Many guests are irritated by a begging pooch. He may play too rough with children; although, he more than likely means well. Indoor animals require extensive housetraining. An indoor pooch will shed, and until trained, do his business indoors. If not exercised daily, an indoor pooch can become lazy. If your dog acquires fleas, then you can easily have a house infestation on your hands.

What you should know leaving your pooch outdoors and indoors:

Many people believe that indoor dogs are more likely to develop destructive habits out of boredom than outdoor dogs. No matter where you keep your dog, if he does not receive proper attention and entertainment, then he can and will resort to destructive behaviors. An inside pooch may chew on your sofa pillows, while an outdoor pooch will dig holes in the yard.

You can also keep your dog both indoors and outdoors if you prefer. If you can handle your dog romping in and out, then it is perfectly okay to allow it. But, you should establish a routine. For instance, your dog may spend the day outside the house and sleep inside. As long as you provide the care and love your dog deserves, then he will be happy no matter where he is. However, a dog that has lived indoors all of his life should not be expected to be happy if he is suddenly moved outdoors.
The same is true in reverse, also.
