Should dogs be kept inside?
<|assistant|>
No, dogs should not be kept inside. Dogs require exercise, stimulation, and mental challenges to remain in good mental and physical health. Being kept indoors can cause them to become bored, anxious, and unhealthy. Allowing a dog to explore the outdoors can provide important exercise, mental stimulation, and opportunities to sniff and explore their environment. Additionally, letting a dog play and interact with other animals and humans is essential for their health and well being. Therefore, allowing a dog to be inside and have access to the outdoors is the optimal situation for a dog's overall health.
