Our ranch setting is an acre fenced with our Bunkhouse in between the two one-half acre play areas. Our free play environment allows dogs an at-home feel, and no stress. The dogs are grouped according to temperament and size and during the middle of the day have full freedom to romp and play or hang out in the ranch yards, shade, sun or wading pool areas.... If weather is bad, we give the dogs a comfy bunk (each dog's private area, homebase for eating and resting and overnight) It's like a dog's living room. We have no problems with overnight, the dogs are dog-tired
