One more word on fencing...I have 4ft chain link fencing and no dog has tried to go
over it, but the first day I got Titan (who at 9 mos. was already 100+ pounds) he
pushed against it and went right through the bottom to visit the neighbor's dog (chain
link has a lot more "give" than you'd think). I had someone come in and weave taut
fence wire through the bottom of the fencing, connecting to the upright poles, and
that solved the problem. So if you're planning on upgrading or installing fencing for
your new pup, you might want to have this reinforcement done right at the start.
