Our yard has a privacy fence around the entire back yard. The yard is divided down the middle with a dog fence for use when we our kids want to play out in the back. Guests are welcome to use both sides, there are two gates on the dog fence. We have a fire pit with hammocks on the right side. On the left side we have a covered porch, with an automatic dog water bowl, some chairs, and plenty of dog toys. We have 9 dogs, mostly big, that will normally be put up in the house, however they are very willing to play if you want your dog to interact with other dogs.
