DFWMGRR The fenced enclosure is intended to provide a secure outdoor exercise area for the dog, not as a place for the dog to live. Goldens are highly social, "people" dogs that need to be with you to be happy! A satisfactory fenced area may be built of stockade, chain link, heavy wooden posts with heavy gauge wire or metal posts with wire. (No dog should be left unattended for any length of time in the latter type of enclosure because they are relatively easy to escape.) The enclosure should be four feet high minimum (five feet is preferred) and include a lockable gate. Equal attention should be given to the security of the fence along its bottom in order to prevent dogs from digging out. Portable pens are accepted on a case by case basis. Location of the fenced area should also be taken into consideration: It should be installed so it is directly accessible from the house to ensure an increased measure of safety for your dog and be convenient for you. The fenced area must be large enough to provide the dog with a comfortable space in which to be played with, get exercise and fresh air and eliminate. Shade and shelter should also be provided.
