We recommend and emphasize the safety measures provided by secured environments for your puppy/dog. The old adage, "good fences make good neighbors" also holds true in keeping your dog in favorable status with your neighbors. Puppies/dogs allowed to roam free are not only endangering their own lives if encountering vehicles, dog control officers, unfriendly individuals, etc., but they can cause accidents when drivers swerve to avoid them and they can cause poor neighbor relations if they damage other people's property. The unsupervised dog, of any breed, is a potentially dangerous dog. A fenced yard provides a place where your canine companion can safely play, sleep, explore. A kennel is a reasonable containment if the animal is allowed out to be with the family and to exercise freedom. Crates/air kennels act as seat belts for your dog in the car and safe zones for the uneducated puppy/dog in the house for short periods(while unattended/unsupervised). We also recommend permanently identifying your canine companion through the use of microchipping or tattooing. |
