People will flame me for this.

I spend almost 100% of my time with my dog(s)

For over 4 years whenever I needed to go somewhere without Rowdy and Sugar ... they both were allowed to free roam the house. They would settle down into a respective area and await my return.

I won't flame you, I do the same thing with Wilson & Piper sometimes

They're left out together when I'm showering upstairs and getting ready, so I can hear them very well. All the ever do is sleep. This morning, I left all 3 of them downstairs because Eric was supposed to get up right after I left.. didn't happen, got home an hour & a half later and they were all passed out, thankfully. But I don't have "typical" Bully breeds.. my dogs are attached at the hip and had never had even a squabble. So I'm lucky.

Anyway, generally speaking, crating is my main form of containment. Wilson is never crated anymore, he has free roam of the downstairs. Piper & Sako are crated at night and if I leave for long periods of time during the day. Sometimes I leave Piper out in the "dog room" by herself with the door shut, with Sako in his crate. Just depends on my mood.

It works for us!
