Math:
If using 10 ft. tie out cables, the total diameter would be 20ft.
Another example is: 50 ft. tie out cables, total diameter =100 ft.


Option 2:  On the Corner of the House

Option 3: On the Back Side or Back Corner of the House


Obstacles:

Be sure that all trees, limbs, bushes and other objects in the yard, including toys are out of the running circumference.  It is important that the tie out have a clear path.  The cables will catch anything in the way, so be sure to keep all children  and yourself out of the running area. The tie outs can be installed along walls that don't have anything the dogs can get wrapped around.  
Also, do not install the pet tie out close to a fence, the dog should keep a distance of 2 feet away to ensure it's safety.
