Yeah, right, a roof over an entire yard? As for your GSD, have you
tried exercising her strenuously and regularly? My two young dogs
don't even TRY to leave my yard, which has 4' chain link of
indeterminate weight, because I walk them daily for 2-4 miles.
Intelligent dogs need a lot of exercise and stimulation.
