Fenced In

Dog-proof your yard to prevent loss or injury. Remove any toxic materials that your dog could eat and surround your yard with a strong fence -- wood, chain, or electronic. Make sure it's the right height. If your dog can look over the fence while standing on his hind legs, there is a chance the collar will get caught, which may choke him. A breakaway collar, designed to break open when pressure is applied, will help prevent such accidents in an unsupervised yard.
