Is it okay to use an outdoor chain link dog kennel (for Siberian Husky breed)?

I don’t want to fence in my backyard, so I was wondering about using a kennel for his outside-time. (He would live inside the house the majority of the day & all night.) I live in the country and wouldn’t want the dog to run away, harm other animals or children, or anything to harm him. Thanks for your help!

Huskies are independent thinkers and need to be able to move and run throughout the day. I think you will find your dog will be unhappy and frustrated and might resort to some negative behavior if he is kenneled up outside especially if he sees little things to chase and can’t get to them. You might have to deal with some howling and barking. Huskies are also pack oriented so consider getting another husky to keep him company. I would also suggest installing a dog run rather than a square cage to give him room to at least run back and forth. Compare the cost and then see if a whole fenced yard wouldn’t be a better option for your dog. If you don’t already have a Husky, consider a different breed that doesn’t require as much exercise and can be offleash without wandering away.
