invest in a dog run pets generally enjoy having their own space and it sure makes cleanup a whole lot easier certain consideration must be given when purchasing a dog run such as location drainage height and shade etc depending on the size of the dog and the amount of time they will be in the run for exercise most companies would recommend a minimum of a 6 ftx 10 ft area the height should be at least 5 ft from the ground although 6 ft high is recommended if you are considering putting a top on the run remember that during the winter months the height of fence will be reduced by the amount of show that accumulates in the run if your dog tends to dig it is a good idea to have a bottom rail installed to stop the dog from pushing out at the bottom- easy to assemble no holes to dig no concrete
