I agree with you and your vet. A tie out or trolley is way to dangerous, especially if your pups are young and active and if they'll be left outdoors unsupervised, even if only for a short time. My friend's Lab was strangled to death by a tie out. It happened only minutes after my friend went indoors
Just wondering...won't the pups be able to dig out of the kennel too unless the "floor" is cemented? I'm sure this is something you'd rather not do. Maybe you were asking what to put on top of the cement? I'm not sure what good several inches of mulch alone would do re: keeping them from digging out, though I'm sure they'd love rolling in it!My girls LOVE to dig and "throw around" mulch that I lay in my flower beds! Actually, I think it makes them want to dig more!
If the kennel is chain link, you could try counter sinking it 5-6" into the ground. That would be a lot of digging for a little guy to do to escape!
