"My Lab Collie cross comes with me every day since he was a pup. He loves it & gets excited when I put my work boots on. I keep him in a dog crate so that he is secure even with all the doors open - perfect on warmer days."

"Hi
im afraid that to really repair this youll need to decompress the soil in the rut as much as possible and then push the displaced turf over this otherwise, as previously metioned, it will fill with water along the compacted rut.
