In my opinion, that seems so tiny...and doesn't your baby want to run around all the time? Bailey is a very very very active dog, but she likes to sleep all day long and go out only about 2-3 times, at most. And they are only for short periods. How would your dog go to the bathroom in one of those things? I think that dogs are inside, and when they go out, they just want to run. Luckily, my house is right on the golf course, so it protects Bailey a little because there is always someone there. But she doesn't go out for long. I'm not too woried about hawks(haven't seen any) and Bailey is 7 pounds. That is just my opinion, we all have different dogs... but I know for a fact that Bailey would HATE that.
I know that everybody is so so worried that a coyote or a hawk can pick your dog up, but in reality... anything can. A person too. So I think that being outside with a stick or something loud would be good. But haveing your dog on a leash at all times? Isn't that a little too over protective? They need a sense of freedom. The coyote can even attack you, and then take your baby. I'm just stating my opinion, but I am happy that people are trying to take extra precaussions.
