My door rest on the fly pen section of my coop. But as said here you can just put a bracket under it to support it. It should be easy.

When it opens it becomes the landing platform to the entrance. So far works good> I am new to pigeons and I have just been flying them 2 wee...

This is an example of how the field trial is getting further and further from hunting. Many Britt trial dogs have never had a bird in their mouth and will never hunt. They have become race horses bred only to trial win get a title and breed. Thats fine but it does leave us full spectrum guys who hun...

How is she when not in the crate and left alone. If she is OK then why not confine to a room instead of a crate. I use child gates to keep the dog in a room. Maybe she just cant stand to be confined to a small area. It seems you tried everything I would increase the size of the area of confinment un...

These fences work great if you spend the time to train right. I live on a busy road and many people walk by with dogs and have never had a problem. You can install without burying the wire if you want. You can use ground staples and than let the lawn overgrow the wire. I have done this and its fine ...
