My backyard is fenced and I purchased 8000 sq feet of my neighbors yard so the Collies have some room to roam. If I'm outside they have the run of the front yard as well. They both know to stop at the curb and not go onto the street.
2 houses down they have a big Siberian Husky (Charlie). The Collies like to go down and visit Charlie. If Charlie gets off his chain he makes a beline to my back yard to play with the Collies. If I want Charlie to go home I give him a dog biscuit and he runs home to eat it.
I've never owned a kennel and the Collies go in and out of the house whenever they wish. They know when they need to go outside and no reason for me to be a doorman.
I also have never hit or spanked them. I use positive reinforcement.
