Wire gates with 1 to 2 inch gap
Three wire gates do not close securely against enclosure fencing. An estimated one to two inch gap exists when the dogs jump on the enclosure gate.

Caked feces on cement floors
Five enclosures containing five dogs have dried, caked fecal residue and other debris on 50 to 60 percent of the cement flooring.

In some weather, dogs that do not have shelter from the elements may be unable to maintain a safe body temperature.
