Well, I've had dogs for 12 years or so now - my solution is simple - I only buy houses that have flat backyards that can be easily fenced in! I wouldn't buy a house with a really steep lot - I want the maximum usable space possible. Corner lots can be tricky as well - I almost bought a house on a corner that would have had a very wide backyard that was not very deep. I'm glad that sale fell through because now I'm on a cul-de-sac and have a small front yard and relatively large backyard.
Anyhow, I guess if you get the dog after you buy a house on a steep lot you just have to figure something out - but if I even thought I would get a dog in the future, I'd buy a house with that in mind.
