Remember- unless its a plastic coated chain- it can get wrapped around another dog or their legs- this keeps it stiffer.

Our yard is FAR too tiny to set up a run cable... our yard is broken up into 3 levels as its on a hill & only the 2 higher levels are gonna be used for the dogs, as the lowest is right beside the walkway & I don't want the dogs in someones face.

I think only bear will be tied up as any chain is a wee bit big for Mr. Biggles.. I have a retractable leash somewhere, that I can use for Mr. Biggles.

Are the plastic coated chains re sizable?
