maxsassy · 11-06-2012, 02:13 PM

We have a very large back yard that is fenced with chainlink. The whole fence is about 1/3 acre or more. The chainlink is old and we have had Shelties and they were old enough not to go under the fence. With little Amy being only 12 weeks old and about 3 pounds I want to puppy proof the fence with something on the inside that will go all the way to the ground. The fence itself is sloped downward and there are spots where she could get out very easy. What would you suggust we use to puppy proof it with? Chicken wire or something like it?

Until we get it puppy proofed one of us takes her outside on a lease and harness to potty. She will never be alone at any time because we have woods all around us with coyotes, deer, fox and other four legged critters not to mention in the winter we are close to a river and now I worry about the eagles wanting to grab her.

Thanks for any suggestions anybody has.
