I am getting a 6 mo.old collie who has been in an outside kennel. He will be living inside with me and my 4 little dogs.Any hints on housebreaking??? I have never purchased a dog who lived in a kennel before.
Answer
What a nice tale :) i am sure he will be overjoyed to be in the house with you from now on rather than a kennel. Don't worry he is still young and you can use all the puppy tricks.

Outside Kennel?
trish
I need an outside kennel for my 14 week old boxer so he can run and play until we get our yard completely fenced, any suggestions on what type to get?
Answer
Get a chain link kennel (about 10' wide and as long as you might want it to be) and be sure it's covered. Boxers are pretty smart dogs, and when he gets a little older, he'll learn how to climb it. Most such kennels are 10' x 10' or 12' x 12', but you can have one built that will give him plenty of running room as well as space for a dog house and a bowl of water.
But remember - if you keep your dog in an outside kennel for much of the day, he'll grow to be anti-social - aggressive towards other humans and other dogs. He needs at least two long walks every day (a dog can walk for 5 minutes for each month of its life up to about 24 months; after that you can walk him for as long as you like) and he needs plenty of time inside with you and your family. Dogs are pack creatures and they need to be with their packs. Keeping him outside in a kennel is downright cruel, even though lots of people do it. They just don't know how bad it is for the dog. Consider how you would feel if you were locked away from every other human in the world and couldn't do anything at all about it. That's about what a dog feels. So please, be kind of stingy about the amount of time he spends in the kennel.
Good luck!
