mattydski 560 Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 I have just about finished my kennels for my lurcher and GSD. They will begin going out during the day when we are not at home, leading on to sleeping out at nights. I have taken care of all the locks, with bolts that cant be removed (coach type) and will begin strengthening the corners to stop boards being removed. I am no idiot...so I know the general does and dont's, and can make anything!! What I would like, if you are prepared to share, is experiences from kennel owners who have had timber kennels broken in to, and how??? I can not risk loosing my dogs..so any experience would be appreciated. I would rather have built from brick and galv metal, but it is not an option at the present.. Genuine experiences only please!!

gnipper 6,893 Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Surely the GSD should be the main kennel security??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattydski 560 Posted August 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Surely the GSD should be the main kennel security??? She is only 5 months old..............But I am hoping she will take on that role, that's why she was bought in the first place.. Matty Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dawn B 212 Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 CCTV. Put up signs and cameras, a basic kit will cost around £500, we have just spent £800 (our own monitor) for a great kit that records etc. It will put them off if they think you can see and identify them.

Tuzo 251 Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 A sign which reads "Tony Martin lives here" should do the trick. Lol............. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dawn B 212 Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 You probably can do it cheaper but is it any good? Depends on what you want doesnt it. I have "webcams" and gear them up to my PC sytem, but if you want a system you can rely on, do it properly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simoman 110 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Matty, Do what you can although the sad fact is no kennel is 100% secure. CCTV, sensors, chains, padlocks, my neighbour has an alarm system that has a speaker which shouts at intruders. Also as kennel security I tie Foxyjos beddie whippet in the yard, they see her and assume there is nothing worth nicking........................ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
