This is about one of the neatest things I have done and that is make a little doggie run in our backyard. This was simple I looked over a stretch of our yard and looked it over good.  All it needed was a little work. First I made sure of some space that looked good and I had been looking at and decided then. The space is about 50ft in length and there was not alot of grass there. I then went to work and added some logs and rocks as well as bricks to make it like a path and as it sits on the side of the yard that worked out really well. I placed the materials I described in a line about 4ft away from the fence all along the side which was just perfect. I then took a heavy rake and another tool a shovel and cleaned it up so that it was like a new path. Once done I introduced them to the idea that it was theirs and our pups took a liking to it and I could tell they were quite at home.  As I walked it with them and tried it out for them getting them to try it was easy. I soon saw that they were somewhat content as they usually are when something is done for them and soon I saw that they could pick up on the idea really easy so I left them to it and it is neat.  I can call it a doggie walk for our little bostons and am really glad I did it!  You can do the same thing and the enjoyment is all yours.

Good luck,
