Is chasing ‘Fido’ down the street part of your daily routine?  Do you get up in the morning, put the dog outside for ‘potty’, get the kids out of bed, make coffee, then go to the back door to let the dog in, and, Damnit! The yard is empty.  Does this sound familiar? Not exactly the way you want to start your day.

Dogs are ingenuous and very cunning creatures. If they can see a way that might be possible for them to get out and play, they will work at it for weeks until they can find a solution!  And humans lead a very busy life; some things just can’t be done immediately, for either time constraints or finances.  Getting a new fence probably falls into both categories.

However, you need to keep your dog restrained so that he; a) doesn’t bite someone or b) get picked up by the ‘doggie cops’.  (Where I live it costs $40.00 to bond your baby out of doggy jail (the dog pound), and you have to go to court – the minimum fine being $50.00 plus court costs $25.00. That’s $115.00 for 1 of Fido’s little outings)

You don’t want to tie your dog up – you feel that is cruel, and you don’t want to leave him locked in the house all day while you are at work.

What other options are there? You can purchase a dog kennel very reasonably; the price for dog kennels ranges from  $150.00 to about $800.00.  Your dog will be perfectly fine in the kennel while you are at work, just make sure the kennel is cleaned daily, and that he has water, a toy, a chewy and a dog house.

Dog kennels come in different shapes and sizes, make sure to get a kennel that is appropriate for your dogs size.  Buying a dog kennel will allow you the time you need to get your fence installed or repaired and will keep your little guy safe.
