Had the same point of view when I started out, I thought I'd keep the dog in the house even (worst mistake ever). Free roaming to people may seem to be "keeping a dog busy" but it allows them to pick things up. At one point I had my pup chew the weatherboard of my house. What followed after the act was a unnecessary correction which could have been avoided.

Dogs need their own time and space. Quality outing in the morning and a longer walk in the evening is sufficient (Quality not quantity), as for training - a well bred dog doesn't even need that much training as many people think (depending on breed and required work). The dog will be more calm and happier with a structured lifestyle. So will you.
