For the past number of years I had a cable dog run in the back yard. A cable ran about 10' above the ground from my back porch on out to an apple tree about 75' in the far corner of the backyard. Another length of cable with a dog clip attached hung from a pulley that travelled on this 75' cable that the dog's collar was clipped to and he could do a certain amount of roaming in the backyard. It took me several years to figure out how I could make this system work better since the dog could get tripped up by the slack in the attached cable on his collar. When I walk my dogs I use a Flexi retractable leash... any slack in the leash was retracted into the housing and the dog never got tangled up in any slack leash. I had an extra Flexi leash so I set my idea into motion...
Here's what the 75' cable looks like in the backyard...
This is Casper waiting to go outside...
Here's the tools I used to put the plan into action...
This is the Flexi leash hooked up and ready to go...
And here's Casper enjoying his new retractable cable dog run... no slack cable to trip over...
When Casper is done romping around the backyard he comes up on the porch, barks to come in and his leash is clipped to an 'eye' bolt mounted on the sliding porch door and it's all set for the next trip outside...
