not in the garage...at least outside...let em wonder round..in the house i say...the dog hunts because it makes you happy, and the dog is gonna be confused to what makes you happy if its in the garage all the time...so let the dog in..i had a great dane could maneuver through a china factory, and my dogs dont get on the furniture, she has 2 dog beds and a rope on one so she can put it where she wants it...give em their own chair basically..the dog wont hunt unless you werk em, they will be house dogs..
