Section R. 285.151.26 - Dog houses with chainsRule 26.
(1) If dog houses with chains are used as primary enclosures for dogs kept out of doors, the chains shall be so placed or attached that they cannot become entangled with the chains of other dogs, or any other objects. A chain shall be of a type commonly used for the size dog involved and shall be attached to the dog by a well-fitted collar. A chain shall be of such length as to allow exercise and convenient access to the dog house.(2) Outdoor facilities shall be fenced around the perimeter so that animals cannot escape or other animals gain entrance.Mich.
