  1. Im with Karen in suggesting a couple of these http://tieouts.com/id84.html you can buy those at Wal-Mart an such too. maybe ones that has higher weight restrictions on them than whats on the site as well(if not you can make your own by buying coated cables,, pulleys,, cable clamps,, swivel snaps an eye bolts outta a hardware store are are made for more weight). if you install them sort of close to each other maybe they will have races with each other. just careful not install them too close together so they dont get tangled up with each others dangle leads. oh an of course tightening your dogs collar up or buying a new one thats impossible for her to slip out of or this will do no good.

    if youre short of a tree or two you can dig hole/s an cement in post/s to attach them too.

    theyre probably also acting up cuz their routine is all messed up. try an make things as routinely again as possible an see if the combo of the two help.

    i wish you an the poochlings the best of luck

    Alternate Dog Run Parts

    I too have had to make a temporary Run, but I used...
    3/8" Nylon Rope

    and used a Pulley/Trolley to connect the leash to...
    http://www.homedepot.com/Tools-Hardw...atalogId=10053

    I had two trees that were well apart, and this gave him a nice run.
    And yes, I had to untangle him from the far tree several times, till he sorta learned not to wind himself around it.

    After all, the Rope came in handy for other purposes, which is why I'd recommend it, rather than a Cable.

    Have a good Day !

    Thank you for your help We definately have a few trees that will do the trick for a good run for both Hopefully, it will help them.
    Too many pets? What's that?

    Excellent - glad to hear! I am guessing it will, especially as the two will likely goad each other into play!

    Our dog run was connected to a hug pine tree at one end, and to a metal pipe dad embedded in the ground on the other, and worked just fine. Only Gracie, our beloved but sort of brain damaged Great Dane mix, ever got tangled more than a few times. The rest figured it out after being led around in the reverse direction a couple times. Gracie, sadly, would get herself wound around the lilac bush so tightly she could not move, and would just whimper in place. Wasn't her fault, we got her third-hand from clueless folks and she was malnourished at the time, so we blame them.
