Thanks for the response. Are they big on trying to dig underneath the fence or anything like that? Just trying to prepare for everything.

Hello all- We are planning on Kenneling our girl during the day while we are at work for the summer and only the summer. We have a barn and we are going to make a fenced in area that comes off the barn door. So she will be able to go outdoors and then into the barn area which always stays...

Sorry did not say.....we work 35 minutes away. And the pen is roughly 8x4. We had it set up like a large octagon, but I read somewhere that I should try shrinking the pen down. She seemed a little more confortable after that.

The few neighbors that I do have in the area work all day. I understand that she can't hold it all day but do you maybe suggest one of those "piddle pads" until she can hold it for extended periods of time. Thanks.
