A fenced yard (or dog run) is a must, unless you are committed to "potty" walks multiple times a day. Tying a terrier out in the yard is not recommended, because it leaves him open to attacks by other dogs or theft. Nor is an " invisible " fence recommended. Many terriers will take the shock in their determination to hunt and don't return.
An invisible fence also leaves them open to attacks and theft. If you do not have a fenced yard your dog should always be on-leash when outside. |
