I have 2 VERY SPOILED golden retrievers.
I am blessed to be able to work at home and spend a LOT of time with them. THey stay indoors with me all day, going out only for walks with me and some play time with me in the yard.
My neighbors actually love my dogs. But I agree with what your daughter did 100%. If my situation were different and my dogs were outside all day, I would do the same thing.
We had a black lab for years which stayed in the backyard during the day. All the neighbors would check on her and give her attention. She was a sweetheart. Kept her inside at night. That is what a laundry room is for!
Actually he stays in the house during the day. She takes him for a mile walk in the morning before she leaves. Comes home every day at 4:30 and immediately lets him in the back yard. Then she takes him for another 1-2 mile walk.
In addition to being in a hiking group where they do 5 mile walks in the evening. Plus she is a runner and Ridgies like to run...a lot. In the winter he does 5+ mile runs several times a week and loves it. Getting too warm now for him to run like that.
Point is, dogs need time, exercise and love. And a lot of them aren't getting it.
