OK, so I’m not talking about entire nights out for Hodi; for most of the night he’ll be tucked up in bed inside the house, but for when taking him outside for going to the toilet in the evening, I decided that I needed something to keep him in a small area.
It’s still dark at night for quite awhile and Hodi is a small, mainly, black dog so would be hard to find if he escaped my view at any point.
So, how to limit him to an area? I could put a lead on him and control him that way, but thought it might be better if I could pen him to an area without a lead.
I bought a set of the above, which comes with eight panels, one of which contains a gate.
It seems pretty well constructed and is suitable for use both outside and inside. The key features are:
- 80cm high panels:each panel of the big dog fence is 80 cm high, 58.6 cm wide, and the gate is 30 cm wide and 60 cm high. 80cm high and easy-to-lock safety door, better prevent pets from escaping easily. It is recommended to set up the dog fence as a polygon connected end to end to increase stability. Let pets feel more at ease at home and provide them with enough comfortable, safe and playable space. Suitable for dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, ducks and other large animals.
- Each fence comes with scratch-resistant foot pads, so you won’t scratch the floor of your home when using it indoors.
- A high quality anti-rust coating to protect the steel structure of the fence helps to prevent rust and prolong its life, making the fence ideal for use outside.
- Easy assembly without tools: using the rod connection, you simply insert the rod into the connection and assemble; the poles are easy to insert into the ground for greater stability and won’t collapse.
- When you don’t need to use the enclosure, you can remove it and fold it for easy storage and transportion
I’ll be setting it up in the garden to the side of the house, where I would like Hodi to go to the toilet, leaving the main part of the garden, clean for other uses. I’m sure it will take some training to get him to do it this way, but I think the pen will help, initially at least.
