Hey everyone,
you might remember me from awhile back. I first posted about troubles I was having with my dog Jetta and house training. You people on here were a huge help, so naturally I thought of this site because of another problem I am having, and I’m not sure how to approach fixing it.
I have two dogs now and a five month old little girl who they love. Mostly every thing is good, other then the fact, that it feels like I don’t have enough time in the day to even brush my hair. LOL
What I was hoping you could help me with was my dog run. I wanted one put in so I would not have to personally take the dogs out, and stay outside with them while they did their business. The run is almost 100 feet long so it really gives them lots of room to sniff and have fun. They seem to love it. Even Phoebe, who hates being outside by herself, likes it. The only problem is that Jetta broke it. She has stretched the line out so much that I had to re-pull it. And yesterday she pulled the huge eye-bolt right out of the shed. The bolt was as big around, and as long as my finger, and I don’t know how of earth she pulled it out. The only thing I can think is she seen a bunny and wanted it very badly.
So I was hoping someone could tell me, if they know of anything, I can do to make this work. I know I need a thicker line but is there some kind of locking bolt that I can use. I just thought that maybe someone would know more about making strong dog runs.
Or perhaps there is some way I can train Jetta not to pull, even when I am not there to correct her?
I wish we could just put up fence, but we do not want to put that kind of money into this property.
Thanks, Tammi, Jetta, and Phoebe.
