Before limiting to a puppy freedom, put on him a collar and wait until the animal gets used to it. Then begin to use a lead but only then chain. If there is an opportunity, it is better to equip a post. Creation of this design requires a metal cable and a chain 1.5-2 meters long. The cable stretches on perimeter of the protected area, on it the chain fastens so that it could slide. The post gives to a dog the chance to protect the large territory, quickly it is better to move and feel psychologically, and the short lead will not get under feet and to prevent actions of an animal. If on the territory the uninvited guest gets, he will not be able to determine the radius of movement of a dog.
