Why a Dog Run?

• Dog owners know that having a dog for a pet is a wonderful experience, but one that includes a lot of responsibility. The health of your dog is in your hands, including his diet, his living conditions and his exercise. Those who have limited space, troublesome stray animals or a yard with no fencing can use a dog run to provide their dog with the proper exercise and protection needed.
  
  

How it Works

• Most dog runs are rectangular in shape with chain link fencing for walls. The size of the dog run really depends on the size of the dog. The dog run has a gate for access and, once closed, the dog is safely protected inside. Some dog runs have protective covering or roofs to shelter your dog from sun or rain, or a dog house can also be put inside the dog run area. Once in the dog run, your dog can enjoy fresh air and ample space to play with toys or other dogs.
  
  

Proper Use

• Dog runs should be designed or installed by a professional. Only rust-free fencing should be used to keep your dog safe. Some type of covering should be used to protect your dog from extreme weather conditions, and dogs should always be provided with water while exercising outdoors. Although dogs are protected in the dog run, always supervise your dog to make sure he is safe.
