Housing Solutions for Dogs Left Alone
If you must leave your dog alone for long periods of time, but want to give him shelter and access to the outdoors, consider a kennel run. They typically come in galvanized steel and in a variety of sizes to suit your needs. For added protection, you can install a kennel roof to help shield your canine from the elements of sun and rain. If you're looking for a cozier option, you can also purchase a wood kennel, which is completely enclosed with a screened area for your dog to get a little exercise.
