I'm thinking about buying a townhouse with a backyard like

You can have a medium to large breed dog in an apartment without a yard. You'd just need to walk it minimum of twice daily, some individual dogs need more, and mentally and physically stimulate the dog enough so it won't destroy your house.

If you are asking if that yard will provide enough mental and physical stimulation to not have to walk or work with the dog, no it will not. That yard is good for a little bit of play, and shitting, and that's about it.

This. Daily walks don't become optional just because you have a yard, unless you are a ruralfag with acres for the dog to run free on.

I would never not take the dog for walks, my plan is to take it once early in the morning, again in the evening, and possibly even hire a dog walker to stop by during the day when I work. With outings to the woods on weekends. I want the yard so that my dog can at least go outside whenever it wants, even it isn't a lot of space.

At the very minimum, it would make a good toilet. Although what >>2245316 says is true (it is my life at the moment), there will inevitably be a few days a year where you are sick and its a real pain in the dick to walk the dog.

All the Dog walkers around

I need a dog runner

Yeah. When you've got norovirus and you've got stuff coming out both ends every 20 minutes, it really helps if you can just let the dog into the yard rather than having to walk somewhere so it can do its business.

>>2245310
That yard is pretty small. Fine for a dog potty. You could theoretically keep a medium or large dog in this space combined with the house, but not leave it outside for long periods or it'll destroy the grass with pacing.

I hope you don't plan on having people over OP, because nobody will want to be there.

>>2245310
You still need to go on walkies. Also don't believe the hater saying it'll be covered in urine after a week. It's not so bad, just have a boundary. Ours can only poop after a certain line.

Dog will piss on the bar b q, lawn chairs, plants...
Do you want a child playing in grass that has urine and feces?

Dogs are disgusting.
