Beloved pet according to his needs is worth ensuring the best conditions.

General requirements for aviary

The manufacture of enclosures for dogs should obey certain principles, otherwise the pet will be inconvenient or even dangerously located on the territory intended for it. It is important to comply with the following principles and rules for the construction of avoire for a dog:

• When the aviary for a dog is built, the size of the pet is one of the determining factors. There are minimal standards square aviary, which depends on the height of the dog in the withers:

Height 45-50 cm - area of \u200b\u200bat least 6 square meters. m.,
- Height 50-60 cm - area from 8 square meters. m.,
- Height above 60 cm - area of \u200b\u200bat least 10 square meters. m.

Tip! It is not necessary to save space for your four-legged friend, but it is not necessary to allocate too much space. Even the enclosures for large dogs should not be very free, otherwise the excess space will prevent the concentration of heat in winter, which is why the dog will freeze.

In size, except others are so-called. "Walk-in", that is, in which the owners can easily go without any problems

• Thinking floor and choosing material For aviary for dogs, it is worth solving a difficult question, according to which the experts diverge even from specialists. It is usually proposed to make the floor completely from a certain material (most often), however, for dogs, it is unusual to protect the natural needs in such a pen. Better, if only part of the enclosure is equipped with floors, and the other part will remain free from the board and the foundation, although in this case the dog can start digging pit, after which it can escape from the barrage. You need to consider the habits of your pet to choose the appropriate option.

• Walls In a dog, dwelling should not be deaf, since our scary curious four-legged friends want to observe what is happening around. At least two walls (in extreme cases, one - front) It is advisable to make from the lattice material: it can be forged , Welded parts or chain grid. Many dog \u200b\u200blovers are not advised to make an aviary for a dog from the chain grid, if it is represented by ordinary cells, as the dog can cling to her interlacing and damage his teeth or skin. For deaf walls it is worth choosing a material with breathable properties: wood or brick.

Tip! The best option will be an aviary for a dog from a tree and a wrought lattice, as a tree, like natural material, is familiar to pets, and wrought details are very reliable.

It is very desirable to take care of the high-quality insulation of the enclosure roof for the dog. Most often it makes two-tie, sometimes straight with inclination

• Roof You can do not do over the entire territory of the aviary, although most often your pet is trying to protect against rain and other natural phenomena from all sides. The roofing material can be chosen any, but in the roof design, it is necessary to provide a base from the tree (necessary for thermal insulation) and a layer of soft material (for noise insulation).
• a door Must be opened inward, but even in finished models this rule is often not respected. For security purposes, it is important that the door is equipped with a reliable lock with external and on the inside.

If you buy ready-to-avar, and do not make it yourself, check the convenience of opening the doors in it and locking reliability

• Availability booths - One of the mandatory conditions of the PSA content, however, in some cases, the booth becomes part of the enclosure, and therefore it is not built separately. How to calculate the size of the booth and build it correctly - Watch the video:

Tip! Everything described concerns situations where we make an aviary for a dog do it yourself on dacha Or in a country house. If you need an aviary for apartments It is used for short-term isolation of a pet, the rules for its arrangement are not so tough. Such room enclosures for small dogs are usually intended and represent only the walls (grid or grid). Be sure to have a sleeping place, dog toys, diapers or tray as a toilet.

Preliminary work

Before building an aviary for a dog, it is worth choosing the future of the location of the pet. In terms of choosing a place there are also a number of conditions that need to be observed:

• do not have an aviary next to the noise source or with fence if a lively street passes closely (the dog will constantly distract passersby);
• dog housing better put not far from entrance door at home (it is necessary that the door is in the species zone of the PSA);
• it is better to put the aviary on the elevation so that the dog see what is happening on the plot (it is impossible to place it, otherwise, in case of rain, the space will be flooded);
• at the maximum you need to remove the space for a pet from the compost pits and other bad smelling places, otherwise the dog may affect the sense of smell;
• the entrance is better to post on the western or east side, because on the southern side of the PSU may be too hot (although in the cold climate conditions it is acceptable), and on the north of the winter it will have to often clean snow.

The function of the avoller can also perform another room or an open area, for example, a fenced by the veranda net.

To provide all the details during construction, you need to prepare a drawing of an enclosure for a dog. It necessarily provides for the stationary of the dog will be housing or not, which determines the presence or absence of a foundation. Also in the drawing it is worth distinguish between the zones and determine the size of a wooden peak (it is on its territory a booth), a place to power (to lay out a tree or tile) And the territory for walking with soil or grass.

Be sure to determine whether there will be a separate booth in the aviary, as it is possible to make an aviary for a dog in some cases without it. The booth is necessary in fully open enclosures, where only walls are provided, as well as in partly insulated enclosures, where three or two lattice walls and roof are provided. When an avoire is built with a warmed block, a separate booth is not needed: its place occupies a warmed block.

If you are going to make an aviary for a dog with your own hands, appreciate which of the construction of the walls is the best for your site: with three walls and an independent entrance, angle with two walls and an independent entrance, or with two walls and an inlet of the house
