Scraper can remove dirt that is sticky and dries on the floor, and the whole kennel can be washed with a hose spraying high-pressure water. Cleaning a safe and effective include using vinegar, bleach and other commercial products.

"That dog will open the latch his cage, looking for a technician cage, and just sit and wait for the technician realizes that his presence." The dog that fled was now locked, said Hanson.

Both the top and bottom should sometimes secured so that the dogs can not dig under or climb out of the cage. The concrete floor will stop the dog from digging, but if the enclosure below the sand, gravel or grass, install a metal fence below the substrate. Use a wire fence (chain link) at the top of your dog's cage. A tarp is usually not enough for a dog who likes to run away will encourage / ripped the tarp.

Mount it on a leash at all the dogs if they're outside the cage. If the dogs were in the park to play, or will leave their cages, dog leash must be paired.

Everyone inside the kennel had to look through a window or look back before opening the door or fence to ensure no kennel dogs when they opened the fence. It would be better if the door was made open inward (inward door) so that the dog can not push apart the door.

A dog might interfere with other dogs, or steal food, and fights may occur.

Introduce the dog with other dogs outside of the cage, if possible in the vast playground. If dogs are visible along, put them in a cage was, but they watch it carefully. If a dog looks scared and hurt, banish them. Ideally, a dog should have a bed for himself.

In the first week of each quarter, note all the equipment and do routine maintenance, including cleaning and a dryer hose from the threads of dog fur or feathers.

A dog that ran back and forth, barking dogs at home are at risk of injuring the other paw, damaged nails and damaged teeth due to chewing on the wire fence. If the dogs are stuck in the cage each, they can injure themselves.

Although the dogs can see other dogs outside their home, there is a concrete wall between the knee sized cage their dogs.
