but holds it in if he has to

I have a backyard but it is not fenced in and is going to be covered mostly with a workshop by the end of summer so it really wouldn't do much good either way.
Dog runs are far from inhumane and I am giving him as much space as I can realistically give him. I take him for hour long walks twice a day and make sure he gets more than his share of exercise and play time. It's not like I am sticking him in the kennel when I am at home and just using it to get him out of the way, he is sitting right here at my feet right now chewing on his rawhide chew and more than happy
