Moving doggie from inside to outside

You could be right about the barking though i disgree that allowing them to keep teh dog outside is not a compromise.



You'd probably be OK in fairness but i couldn't suggest that someone violate their rental agreement with a clear conscience, especially if the result is an eviction.

I would have a worse conscience with the dog out side, than worried about a rental agreement.

But as I said earlier unless I was confident my dog wasnt impacted by the move I would chose another house.

In the above scenario though I would take the house and leave the dog in, will probably be a non issue

In theory there should be absolutely no issue with the dog being outside, provided it is done correctly. Its up to you if you break your rental agreement of course, but then you'd have to accept eviction if caught.

I think the dog will have a heard time with adjusting to outside esp at night, its a big shock and we are now in Jan , its not like its June where the weather would be milder and its not a very hairy dog so will feel the cold a bit more

one of my own lads hates being in the pen after dark cos he knows he should be in the hse, if we are away and get home late he isnt happy cos as soon as we get home from work they are in the hse so he finds it hard staying out a few hrs longer

I don't agree with this bit, if a dog is raised from young outside I think it would climatise and probably be fine but given that it has been indoors and has never slept outside before then it will be very hard to adjust, almost cruel.

Dont be silly, it'll be in a shed - not sleeping under the stars. All it needs is a decent kennel and bedding and it will be perfectly comfortable.

Do you have a dog kept in the house?

So, despite it being repeatedly pointed out that the cold/elements are not anywhere near as big a problem as social isolation and consequent anxiety-related behavioural problems, you're still focussing on the lesser problem?
Throw as many coats as you want on a dog, give him a super-duper insulated kennel. Lovely. But if a dog is left alone for long periods, none of these are of any use to him.
I think we can assume that op will ensure the dog's physical comfort is catered for, so arguing as to how warm the dog will be, or how the dog will acclimatise, is surely redundant?

I wouldn't do this. Dogs in particular are very social animals and need lots of human contact. I don't agree with living outdoors at all but particularly not if it has already been living inside.

What have my dogs got to do with this OPs issue? His dog will be fine in the shed, physical comfort isnt the issue.

The landlords stated that the dog must not be kept in the house. If the op as some suggested lets the dog stay in the house and the landlord finds out, they face at the very least hassle from the landlord. At worst the tenancy agreement would be broken, leaving the op with "possibly", a vacation date and a non refundable deposit.

I have four dogs and umpteen cats, I rent and thankfully have a very lovely landlord who has no issues with the pets being in the house. We did struggle to find pet friendly accommodation, we wanted to live in a rural setting but no landlord would agree to us having a GSD in the countryside due to potential dangers with livestock (they would have agreed had we allowed our dogs to be kept in a pen/run). We are now living in a town, in a housing estate, with our GSD x, Labrador, Collie and Terrorist and some of our neighbours don't even know we have dogs because they are never outside. Our dogs are part of the family, even if they are outside for a half an hour, the guilt kicks in and they come back inside. Even in multiples, they are not happy outside, they prefer to be with us and thats the way we want it. I would never in a million years compromise our dogs happiness for our own living needs, even if that means living in a less than perfect house. JRTs are hardy dogs but the very thought of a dog being on its own for the length of time the OP stated is just unthinkable in my mind. We made dogs our companions and it is our responsibility to ensure our dogs health and wellbeing, no excuses.
