Yeah, in TX I could always find places to run the dogs, even when we lived in Midland in the city (well, ok, we thought of it as a city!). But here, there are not many places you can take your dog off leash. We do alot of walks, but I know they wuld like a good run (which I am too old and uncoordinated to do with them on leash! ;)
Our back yard is about the lenghth of the house (don't know that in yards, but the house is only 1800 sf) and maybe 12 ft. deep. Not alot of space. The little one loves to run jets around the yard, she's pretty amazing. I should have her in agility.

If you get her into agility, the club should have a big, open training field! Our club has a huge fenced yard, big enough for a standard agility ring (110 x 85), plus an indoor training area for when it rains - not quite as big, but it's in a warehouse, probably about 85 x 50.
