The answer is to walk them in your yard on a leash and then walk them as they need. This works for us and our dog has the run of the house most of the rest of the day. There are dog parks where they can run freely.

This reminds me of a not so funny story. The Company with which I spent 37 years built a large state of the art manufacturing and development plant in Tucson, Arizona. It was staffed with transferring employees from California and Boulder mostly. They would bring their dogs and cats and let them out at night only to be never seen again. I ran a the Accounting Services Function at the time and marveled that we used to spend an average of $800 to move these animals only for them to be coyote food with heartbroken owners. I suggested to our HR people that they incorporate this into the recruitment and move counseling so people would know how to work with their new environment. When this happened, the "new dog/cat on the block" mortality rate improved significantly

Congrats to you on thinking proactively about your animals.
