It was a bit more money than normal dog runner stuff but at least he is safe and can't get off his runner. And on top of that someone is either outside with him or near the window when he is outside. He barks at everything and every time he barks someone checks to see why and if we have to do dishes or clean or whatever he is always checked on every couple of minutes (more frequently when I am home because I'm paranoid).
When he is let loose in my grandparents fenced in yard we still keep a eye on him. You never know if another animal made a hole or whatever. I usually walk around before he is let out and now that he's twelve he runs around and then once he has tired himself out he stays close. |
LOL - that sounds EXACTLY like my Bealge
I never let her run loose in a fenced yard no matter how secure it is because she'll dig under it every time lol and she's 12 too!
