    Well,, I would say Take your shoes off and spend 24 hours in your bare feet on differant grades of gravel. When you can find one that you can stand and lay in for 24 hours... go with that one..

    If you have your heart set on gravel, There is stuff that We call squegee, Basicly Just above sand in the size of rocks.. At least it doesn't have sharp edges..

    use this or just let them run on the dirt, dirt is easier to pick up the crap on too.

    If you don't put a wading pool on one end of the run, Marlin and I will call animal services on you.

    wrong. dirt only will make their pads soft. when running/walking or jumped over fence and hightailing it afterwards the soft pads can get damaged.
    we used some small round(1/2"-2') river style rock. this allowed for tougher pads, easier to clean the shit off of, and allowed drained from rain, piss and knocked over water bucket.

    I love my dogs, and provide them with nice, soft grass to run and lay in. WTF is with the gravel?

    you could get some paving stones as well, home depot has them for $2 each right now.
    my dogs have grass and the whole back yard.
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.

    Squeegee or pea gravel is the least abrasive.

    Gates, with locks, are required on private school playgrounds. Liability issues.
