Can anyone think of a way to attach a dog run to the ground in a garage so it can't be pushed around? It's in a rented house so I presumably can't drill shit into the concrete.

>> No.1023000

Stakes/tent pegs would be the obvious solution... I assume you've tried that already?

>> No.1023001

>>1022996
If you mean a fenced run, a cinder block in each corner should do the trick. For a corded run, she concept: drop the cable end into a cinder block and pour in a shovelful of quick-crete.

>> No.1023002

>>1022996
Tie the four corners to four opposing points in the garage, like on eyelets screwed into the studs. Or, put dog cage at very back of garage, pin in place with car.

Just buy tubes of sand put them along the bottom on the outside.
.
They are dirt cheap, dont take up much space.

If youre worried about your particular dog jumping into the side of the fence, potentially tipping it over, you can use like long cable ties or something to tether the chain link around the sand bags

I cant think of anything else that is easy and isnt prohibited because you are a renter

These won't work because the bags would get chewed and the blocks wouldnt be heavy enough. Might work with big as fuck rocks though, and i also like the "attach it to the wall" idea.

Probably should have mentioned this will be for winter housing for an african crested porcupine, not a dog. He'll be allowed out, but I can't really just leave an animal like that loose in a house for long periods when people are gone.

Does it actually matter if it nudges the enclosure around though? As long as it's heavy enough for him not to lift you should be sweet.

There is a difference between projecting malice, and projecting concern. I read both posts as an expression of concern for the welfare of the animal. From the sounds of the angle you chose to take on it however (they must be talking about animal abuse, not the prevention of), I dare say the problem is in your head, not theirs.

But whatever, we've discussed you enough, this is not your thread.

Yes, hostile unfounded self-congratulatory projections that shit on the thread.
You shouldnt have to justify anything, you asked for help, not for a lecture from some retards who are inferring things.

> From the sounds of the angle you chose to take on it however (they must be talking about animal abuse, not the prevention of)

The angles are both exactly the same. Either you are abusing your animal, or you clearly plan on abusing your animal.
There is no other way to take it.

>But whatever, we've discussed you enough

We havent discussed ME any. We have had busybodies chiming in complaining about YOU.

This is the definition of todays "sjw" faggots.
The same type of people who will go around to dog parks and start talking shit to someone who has a dog with a cropped tail, not knowing anything about the person or the dog.

Gotta find something to be outraged about.

It's nothing like the cropped tail. No matter what kind of dog you have, locking them outside just isn't right. If you don't want a dog in your house, then don't own a dog.

tl;dr all posts... but as one post said put a floor in it. dog won't be able to move the whole thing if it is standing on the floor which is attached to the walls. or get some of those post jacks. you can set them up at the corners and they will wedge between the floor and the ceiling holding the cage in place. can also attach the cage to these posts with wire or zip ties rope or whatever for extra security. easy to install. easy to remove and won't be damaging anything

Yeah sorry I worte that when I was half asleep. I could definitely put a shitload of cinder blocks around the enclosure, that's a pretty good idea.

>>1023732
I thought of a floor too, but no idea what I would make it out of. More chainlink material would work, but would be super uncomfortable. Wood would get ruined with shit and piss and chewed horrendously. I like the post jack idea, but am not sure it'd work in a garage with presumably really high ceilings without being super expensive.

Looks like the shitload of cinderblocks is the easiest and cheapest solution.

How beastly is this thing? 4 cinder blocks should be enough, or do 8. (2 on each side at the corners) tie the cage down to the blocks to keep him from lifting it. If you're STILL worried about your porcupine escaping. Fill the blocks with quickcrete. That'll give you ~200 - 400 lbs of weight with 4-8 cemented blocks. You can also buy solid blocks, which would probably be easier. But hey, if you filled them yourself you could have the rope / chain be part of the blocks then. Also be sure to throw down plenty of straw matting for it. Floor will be cold in the winter.

What the hell are your dogs doing, football tackling the side of the enclosure? As little as 2 blocks in opposite corners should work.
