Answer
Is your pet neutered. It may be trying to get out to find a mate. You can buy a kennel at Lowe's or Home Depot for a reasonable amount or a large crate at Pet Co or Petsmart. If your pet is ramming the fence to get out you may have an issue even after you get your fence fixed unless you get your dog fixed.

Portable dog kennel a good idea?

Mrs. N

I found a 7x10ft portable dog kennel (chain link) on Craigslist for $100 I am thinking about getting, a 7x12ft at Lowes is $219. I am mainly needing it to let my dogs outside in while I am at work sometimes so they are not cooped up in a crate. Would that be ideal for an APBT and Pug mutt or is there cheaper products out there that I can get to do myself that would make more space for roughly the same price? or does anyone have any ideas that they use for their dog's fencing?

Answer
Portable dog kennels work GREAT! My hubby made ours, but he welds so it was cheaper. You need to know that they WILL get out if they are diggers, so you will need to put a bottom on it. A roll of chicken wire or something works great if you stake it to the ground about an inch or so past the edges of the kennel. Depending on the weather you may want to put a tarp or some other form of cover over part of the kennel, for shade etc.

Traveling with a dog???

SamiiLynn

What is safer for my dog when traveling 9 hrs in the car from New York to Virginia:
Being in a wire crate seat belted in the back seat of a van or in a dog harness seat belt thing in the back seat? My dog is a corgi mix.

Answer
A crate is the safest place for him.

When you stop for rests, make sure his collar is a little tighter than normal so there is no chance of him slipping out of it. And make sure you have up-to-date tag information on him.

Dogs can get freaked out by strange surroundings, so make sure you keep him close when you're there and at rest-stops during the trip.

Tips for taking a dog on a road trip?

ramirezant

I plan on taking a road trip from South Florida to New York and I'm bringing my Yorkie with me. He has been on car rides before, the longest 1 1/2 hours. All the time my yorkie rides in the back with another passenger. I don't plan on staying in a hotel, just driving straight to NY, with breaks for gas, and food. The road trip can take anywhere from 19-24 hours. What are some helpful tips I can use?

Answer
When you travel with dogs it's not unlike traveling with kids. you need to be flexible. You may have to stop when the dog needs to, not when it is convenient. That's a long time to drive and you may not be in the best of moods many hours in, which may mean you may not want to deal with you dogs needs especially if they come up often. Your dog may have an upset stomach, or just get bored being that long in a car. That can lead to a lot of barking and or whining. I have traveled with my dogs for long trips. I have enjoyed doing so a lot. But each dog if different. My Scottie was a lot of fun, he loved seeing each new place when we stopped. My standard poodle found travel nerve racking. While traveling he slept a lot due to the stress. When we stopped for the night he had to go out several times. He went out at bed time and then I think it was 2, 4, and around 6 something. Needless to say i was very tired after driving all day and those many hikes out to a grass spot in the freezing temps of December were not making me cheery. Good luck. I hope you have someone traveling with you if there is a problem. I crate my dogs for travel. This is safer for the dog, and if there is a mess to deal with then it's easy to clean up. bring lots of water, food, and old towels. Your leash and contact information on your dogs tags.
