Having a dog run is a fantastic way to give your dog space and freedom outside whilst remaining as secure as indoors. Every dog would love the chance to have fresh air daily, space to run around and play; a dog run gives a dog exactly that.
At this time of year many people consider having a dog run outside their home as it becomes warmer and you will want to prevent your dog from overheating indoors. Dogs love interaction and being outside will let them see what is going on whilst being safe inside the run. A dog run can be bolted down to the ground, have attached roof panels and can all be fitted with a padlock so that you have complete peace of mind that your dog is safe and secure whilst playing outside.
When choosing the dimension of a dog run, be sure to leave enough room so that your dog can run and turn easily without touching the sides, this will allow for your dog to have the right amount of freedom. Please be aware that it is suggested to always provide a place for your dog to shelter from the sun or the cold and a space to drink water and eat food. A dog run is to be treated very similarly to a home and should be kept clean at all times.
Dogs are happy being outside with all the different smells, the space to play and the noise that goes on in everyday life. Having a dog run will also free up your life as if you wanted to nip out you can do so knowing your dog will be entertained in the run and safe.
Dogs happily spend hours in their run in the fresh air however if you want your dog to sleep in the dog run then you should look at adding a kennel into the run so your dog will have somewhere to retreat to.
Whilst we believe that dogs who have plenty of time outside in a dog run are happier, healthier dogs we do not suggest that you leave your dog unattended for a great length of time as dogs love attention and companionship. It is best to see the dog run as an extension to your home and spend as much time as possible playing with your dog inside the run too.
