Bought some more fencing for the garden, need to make it a bit higher some places, so that our husky can spend more time there, a couple of places has been a bit flimsy, time to fix it :) If he really wanted - he could easily get over, but he just likes to stay in the garden, and does never mess with the fence (wire mesh fence, wooden poles in the ground). Also have a long chain as well (that’s as long as the garden) but he does not want to have that one one (and it’s under 1.5m of snow now). If he ever jumps over or digs himself out I’ll get one of long wires that goes overhead that I can attach one of those pulleys \ leash too, that’ll be better then a long chain.
