Weather permitting I love having my puppy out on a cable, looking for squirrels to chase. While I am either sitting near ( in the shade) or in & out close by I will never leave an animal unattended in my care. I live in a apartment that has a big open area.oit front (Not fenced) so for the smaller size puppies, I'm available to watch, they will get plenty of exercise outside, walking around in the yard on a leash or a cable for them to run free I prefer the puppy's owner supply their pups food & treats plus body harness, leash and the spike and cable to use in the yard. In side my apartment, they are free to roam and get comfy.
