Where and How to house your dog?
Description
It is very important that we provide a safe, warm, and comfortable environment for your dog. If your dog will be housed outside, provide shelters such as a doghouse for when it is cold or rainy and shade for when it is hot. Keep in mind that protecting your dog from the changes in weather will reduce stress and help keep it healthy.
Consider fencing in your yard. A fence gives your dog room to play but will also protect it from wild animals and reduce the risk of strangers interacting with your dog.
It is not recommended to keep dogs tied up outside. Tying dogs outside is illegal in some areas. In addition, dogs that are tied up are more likely to bite than those roaming freely in a fenced yard.
If your dog uses a kennel or doghouse, make sure to clean it regularly to prevent the build-up of poop. ... And always make sure your dog has access to fresh, clean water and food every day.
