Dog Runs Are An Invaluable Asset To You And Your Pet!
Dog Runs Our Cocker Spaniels need plenty of exercise to keep them fit and to help prevent them from becoming overweight.
Luckily, they love to be outdoors (that's a bit of an understatement!) and what better way of allowing them additional (unsupervised) exercise than in a run - content in the knowledge that they are enclosed and safe from harm. Even if you have plenty of time to walk your dog, an external pet run will provide plenty of fresh air and the opportunity for your dog to exercise all day long if he wants to!
A run is a large wire-metal fence that forms an outdoor enclosure to keep your Cocker secure and will stop him from running off. Whilst the terms dog runs and dog pens are often used interchangeably, runs are larger than dog pens and will allow your Cocker Spaniel to get a good run about rather than simply wandering around in a pen. The above picture shows a large public run for dogs in a park in California - lucky dogs! Whilst we may not have the space for a run of this size, most of us with yards will have enough space for a modestly-sized run. In addition, the run will usually contain a dog kennel or dog house. Dog kennels and dog houses offer your pet protection and shelter from the rain and cold.
The run may have a lockable gate for security and ease of access and are available in varying heights to accommodate different sizes of dog - just make sure the fencing is high enough to prevent your Cocker from jumping out and escaping! Always leave your pet with a bowl of fresh, clean, water to avoid dehydration and if you live in a sunny climate, don't forget to leave the bowl in shade or inside the kennel, otherwise it may quickly evaporate. A few of your Cocker Spaniel's favourite toys such as a ball, a chew toy, or a rope, may help to keep him occupied and out of mischief!
There are many benefits to owning a pet run, including:
With plenty of room to play and exercise, plus all that extra fresh air, it's got to be better than being cooped up inside all day, don't you think? Dog runs may be a great thing to have, but they're not a substitute for walking your dog - he'll still need to be walked to satisfy his migrating instincts, and a change in scenery and smells will give him the mental stimulation he needs. If you'd like to buy your Cocker Spaniel a run or a pen, they're available online or from large, reputable pet stores.
