A leash if the first thing that comes up in our minds when thinking on control a dog. But there are other options for the dog to feel free and comfortable, and to guarantee you safetyness, especially if you are traveling with your lovely pet. Portable dog fences are commonly known as "Kennels" and they come in several kinds of models, from chain link fences to plastic carriers.

Kennels

A kennel must always be comfortable for your pets. The size of the kennel is an essential consideration. Big dogs like Labradors and German Shepherds need more space than smaller dogs. Kennels must be tall enough to allow them to stand and wide enough to provide room for them to lay or sit in. If you are bringing your dog for a plane ride, the kennel must be in the right size acceptable to airline guidelines. The unit must be as lightweight as possible; otherwise, you will pay more for the extra pounds.

There are many kinds of portable kennels for dogs, the classic kennel cabs (especially designed when traveling by air), soft collapsible kennels for short travels, and even large portable dog run kennels. Some examples of portables dog kennels can be found here.
