| Re: Would you have a Rott not fenced?
Angel Bunny Post #34 is constructive. Best to rehome now if you are not certain this breed is for you - or your physical situation.
Invisible Fence? Not for any dog - IMHO. A dog can go unpredictably 'ape' and fly through that zap of momentary discomfort for the prize/gratification of a chase with a squiwrel, bunny wabbit, or their favowite toy. Then what happens next? God forbid.
I grew up on a very large farm. Our working dogs were secured in kennels unless we were out with them mustering, hunting, or whatever.
The panels 6x12's work well as a kennel run. But it is best it should be on a concrete pad, or gravel pad with stable mats 3/4 inch thickness so easy to clean/spray off. If you have a digger this will prevent the underground escape artists. Frame for a tarp and it works in the wet. You could go to craigslist, if you have that in your area, and buy these panels, and an igloo dog house. It would be much cheaper than the home improvement store. Cedar shavings inside the dog house make it a snug place to relax. It is not as impossible as you think. You could put a padlock in the gate - but when you go away from home - your dog should be in the safe confines of your home.
Hope this helps some.  |
