Answer by  withluck (1745)

Dogs are sociable creatures and do want to spend time with their owners. Frequent attention and exercise does help a dog adjust to his area. Also, make sure the dog has a comfortable, dry doghouse and bedding. Also, make sure your dog has toys to chew and play with outside.

Dogs yearn for indoor companionship just as any human member of your family would. If you are not prepared to allow your dog to share your home, consider surrendering it to a family that is willing to spend the time and energy it takes to properly care for a pet.
