Indoor
Housing Facility
Indoor housing can be provided to dog in a room that is currently
not being used, a verandah or a terrace with suitable modifications
or you could keep him in a crate or a cage that can be placed
anywhere in the house.
If you choose to keep him in a crate, cage or a kennel, see that :
- It must be
large enough for the dogs to stand, turn around, stretch and lie
down.
- The crate
should be easy to clean and carry and preferably be strong at
the same time.
- Should
have a door with a locking facility, so that the dog may be kept
inside safely.
- The crate
should admit light and provide proper ventilation.
- Provide
the dog with a mat which can be spread on the floor of the
crate.
- And proper
toilet training should also be given to the dog.
Outdoor Housing Facility
If outdoor housing is to be provided to the dog, it should be done
on hard ground and the area around it should be kept dry. It should
be built on a raised platform with slopes on all sides to avoid
accumulation of rain water.
The dog house should be made of a strong material to resist
different weather extremities. It should be seen that the dog is
protected from direct hot and cold breezes. The house should be big
with a the bed for it.
It is better if puppies under six months of age, sick dogs, old dogs
and pregnant bitches are given indoor housing facility.
