This is not more apparent to anyone than those who own multiple animals. When not given their own private space, many animals, especially dogs and livestock will become overly territorial, marking space, and fighting with other animals or even humans for a place to call their own. Yet many owners put off the need for homes for their animals because they think it might be too hard or time consuming. That could not be further from the truth. Written for every pet and livestock owner who has sighed or groaned at the prospect of building a home for their animals, this book demonstrates 101 different ways you can build a viable home for your animals while cutting costs and saving time. You will learn how to create homes from scratch for several different animals. First, you will learn how to assess the needs of your animals according to type and personality, from indoor domesticated pets to outdoor livestock. You will learn what features these homes need to match your animals according to size, feeding habits, gender, quantity, and breeding potential. You will learn which building materials are best for which animal's homes and how these materials can be purchased and used. Experts ranging from dog and cat breeders to small farmers have been interviewed for this book to learn more about their experiences with animal homes. They have provided a number of insights into how these homes can and should be built. 101 different plans and methods for home building will be laid out for you in detail allowing you to effectively start building these homes and seeing to the specific needs of every animal in your life.
