Things to Consider (cont.)

1. Set a containment policy - Make sure you have a secure way to keep your new puppy or dog on your property. If you have a fenced yard, walk the perimeter of it and check for loose boards, low spots(where with a little digging, escape is possible). If you do not have a fenced yard, you might want to consider putting in a dog run. Invisible electrical fencing is another method to keep your puppy or dog on your property. Your family should be a good neighbor and see to it that your new friend stays on your property.
