Portable outdoor containment.

[in5r]

We have typically always camped with our dogs of which were of the lab size. Well we have recently become the proud parents I guess you could say of a Yorkie. The past I have seen several other campers using the portable playpen type setup on their campsites. Is there one brand/style that works better than the other? I would figure plastic would be beneficial from a rust free view. Just looking to see if there is anything favored outthere

I bought one at Camping World on sale for ~$30 or so. It's wire has 8 panels X 30" tall and works well for my dachshunds.

The advantage to the pen over the leash or lead is that the dogs tend to get the lead wrapped around chair legs, trees etc. as they wander around. I also have 25' leads for my dogs but it doesn't take long before they end up with about a foot left. And the pens work well for small dogs but a pen that a larger dog can't jump out of would start to get a bit cumbersome to carry around.

Why don't leashes work for small dogs? I've seen lots of small dogs in pens, just wondering.
