To answer your question as to whether I would have my dog outside ; No, being a pet dog, my dog is very much part of my family and he is in the house with us, he does not have a room of his own apart from us, he has the house just like us.

If they are very excitable it could be because
- they are young they are still puppies! and they are not used to being in the house much.
- they may not get enough mental and physical stimulation - maybe they need longer walks to be more chilled in the house or even better more mental stimulation (training etc)
I would also suggest you consider walking them as well; lead walking is a big part of the bond you build with your dog, it allows the dog to see you as the leader and generally helps in your relationship (in my opinion at least) so if you can take them all for a small walk at least they could help also!

Good luck

Good post as usual x
