[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 588592, member: 7795"] Got to chuckle at that. Don't take this wrong, but that might be hard to pull off. I have rarely been able to "sneak" up on mine. About the only time I did I was driving a vehicle they had never heard and something was covering the noise of my arrival. They have a pretty good internal clock also. I remember one time I left work a couple hours early, when I got home the dog was gone. No gate open, no digging under the fence. Drove the neighborhood looking for her couldn't find her. Finally decided to go back home and see if she would show back up. About 15 minutes before the normal time I would get home I heard her in the yard. Gates were still closed but she was back in the yard. Upon closer inspection of the fence (1x4 cedar picket fence) I had one board that had broken at a knot. Not a big deal as my dog was a lab and couldn't get thru that 4 inch space. [b]But[/b] the nail in the bottom of the board next to it had backed out allowing it to swing like a pendulum. She had learned to escape by pushing the board to the side and slip thru and the board went back into position. So for a time she got to run the neighborhood with the other escape artists during the day. Seem she also new what time to be home to not get caught. So fooling a dog to think you are not home, that might be fun to watch. :lol2: But I think you have a well thought out plan when you do get a dog. As far as needing a dog kennel, since you have a fenced yard and shed for it to get out of the weather I don't personally think you need a kennel and tieing it up or crating it, in my opinion would probably cause more uncontrollable barking and bad behavior than letting it have the run of a yard.
