Are Dog Fences Necessary?
For a puppy, dog fences are essential for their security. You may feel bad about keeping them fenced in but you would feel worse if something life threatening or dangerous happened to your puppy because you allowed him to roam free. In some areas it is compulsory to have dog fences but even if it isn’t we advise that you have them. Imagine how upset and guilty you would feel if a passing car ran down your puppy or dog. Act responsibly and make sure that your pet is secure.
If your dog is going to be outside for any great length of time in a fenced area, he will also need protection from the sun, rain or other weather elements so when you are ready to fence of an area make sure you have enough space for the covered area your dog will require.
Match the fenced area to the breed of dog you own. If you have a big dog he will need more space and a higher fence. You should also make sure that the posts are positioned deeply into the ground because large and small dogs are smart; they can spend hours creating an escape tunnel. Working out your intended use of this area is also important.
If you only intend to use the compound when you are at home, you probably don’t need to use particularly expensive or high quality materials. However, if you intend that your dog is going to spend a lot of time in the compound, whilst you are at work or out then you will need sturdier materials and more space for your dog to move around and play.
You might not feel very happy about confining your dog to a fenced area but if you don’t have an alternative then it is your job to ensure that you have done the best you can to provide security and comfort for your dog. Your dog may well have learned the command “stay” but just like humans, dogs will become bored if they have to stay in one position for hours. As a valued member of your family you should treat your dog in the same way that you would a child. You would never consider leaving a child outside, unsupervised and without protection and the same rules apply to your dog.
When you are at home, and in a position to supervise your dog, let him out of the compound, take him for a walk or a run around the local park. You dog needs as much if not more exercise than you do.
It is often necessary to set limits in the house, particularly if your dog is boisterous and energetic. There may be areas of the house where you don’t want the dog to go. There is a range of indoor fencing or gates available on the market for this purpose and sometimes a baby gate is sufficient, depending on the size of your dog. Indoor fencing is excellent if your dog is going through a chewing phase!!!

Dander Free for Dogs (12 fl. oz.) by Earth’s Balance Household pets are the most common source of allergic reactions to humans. Many people think that pet allergies are provoked by the fur of dogs, but researchers have found that the major allergens are proteins secreted by oil glands in the animals’ skin and constantly shed in dander, as well as proteins in the saliva, which sticks to the fur when the animal licks itself. When the substance carrying the proteins dries, the proteins then float into the air.Older animals produce more dander than young ones because their skin is drier. Animal dander is extremely light weight, tiny in size, and can stay airborne for hours.Dander Free for Dogs provides natural control for dander on dogs known to cause human allergies.Directions: Spray or rub in gently every other day for the first week. Saturate your pet’s coat down to the skin and let dry. Spray or gently rub in weekly for maintenance.Ingredients: Restructured ionized water with tannins, derived from a natural selection of living friendly microbes, targeted to digest organic waste. Contains no known hazardous ingredients.
