re: Thinking about giving away my GSP

Your situation sounds alot like mine with my catahoula. He's 4 now and is a totally different dog than before, but it took 4 years for us to figure out what to do. We tried the kennel thing and he kept busting out of it to the point where it was irreparable. Got a cheap chain link kennel from Academy that lasted a day before he tore a hole in the fence. Piece by piece I replaced the chainlink with welded cattle gap fence and poured a concrete floor for two reasons, keep it dryer and keep him from digging out.
