I will allow house time, but no playing/rough-housing with big dogs in the house. Big dogs are expected to down or sit/stay while loose in the house. And before anyone thinks my big dogs are neglected - I have converted the Master bedroom for their comfort with beds, crates, a stereo, fans, and a cat (lol) for times they need to be confined. The little dogs are blocked from that room. And I take turns daily with who gets to run errands with me.

Seems not real fair to the dog because dogs generally want to be with owners the whole time they are home.
