Article Title: Dog Fences For Your Companion
Author: Kelly Marshall
Depending on where you live, a dog fence may be mandatory, and
it is always a great idea. You may feel at first with a puppy
that you are restricting their movements and making them
unhappy, but in reality, you are keeping them safe. You will see
as a dog owner that your first responsibility is going to be
keeping your dog safe. Dogs that do not have proper fencing or
that are not on a leash can get into trouble.
A car or animal that is going by may harm your dog and cause
you more pain in the end. Therefore, you should construct the
proper fencing for your dog. You should also be aware of the
weather. Your dog will need some form of shelter for rain, cold
weather or even hot weather so keep this in mind when you are
forming the fenced in backyard or tying them to a runner.
Building an Enclosure
In order to build an enclosure you have to understand your dog.
Some dogs have the ability to escape by digging or jumping over
the fence. If you have a large dog, you will need plenty of
backyard and a higher fence. You should also make sure to bury
the fencing into the earth to make it more difficult to dig
through when you have a smaller dog. You also need to know how
you plan to use the fence.
If you are just going to use the fence for when you are home,
then you probably do not need something to extravagant. On the
other hand, if you are using it for a daily basis rather than
keeping your dog cooped up while you are at work you should have
something that will really keep them secure while providing them
with plenty of space to play.
You might feel horrible for keeping your dog inside a fence all
day, but remember it is for their safety. Training your dog to
stay can be extremely helpful and should be done, but you have
to realize instinct can over come the training you have provided
your dog in some instances.
Your dog is an important part of the family so offering the
best in safety should be your first priority. You would not set
your baby outside without a fence and leave them without
supervision whether they understand your command to stay in the
yard or not. So do not make the mistake with your puppy or dog.
You do not always have to restrict you dog to the fenced in
yard when you are home. You can take your dog for walks or let
them play in dog parks, but again this is when you are providing
supervision for them and allowing them the exercise they need.
Sometimes, indoor fencing is also a good idea for active dogs.
You can purchase gates or barriers that can prevent dogs from
entering areas of the house that they should not have access to.
This can help keep them out of dangerous areas, especially if
your dog is a chewer!
