Thanks for the info! I have an area that's fenced in chainlink.. my landlord uses it for his dog but not that often.. I am going to take it over It is an area roughly 25 feet by ten feet.. attached to the garage. Oddly enough, someone used to keep goats in there years ago.. but I plan on blocking off access to the garage as it houses too much dangerous junk like rusty tools and such, and building a shelter in there for them. The chainlink is High, about 8 feet.. holds in some pretty big dogs that have been placed in it..
Now about tying them out on leadlines when I am home? Like, if I were working in the house, but had them tethered to a pole within sight of me so that if there were a problem, I could intervene? I would not leave them like this.. it Would be a cool way to get some of the brush under control though!
