I use a product called flysect. You will find it or something like it at most farm supplies stores. It is used for horses, but is also good for dogs. It's not cheap, around $20 for a bottle, but it will last normally a couple years. When I spray it on my dogs, it usually lasts around a week before they need sprayed again. It really keeps the flies away!

Them bags from Wal-mart work wonders on flies. Hang them up close to your pens and watch the flies dissapear.

Do you have lime under the pens? If they are cleaned under and fresh lime added, that should help alot.
Use "Fly away", it's a roll -on product for horses, this will keep the flies off the hounds...Patch

I use Pet Guard. Place it around the head and middle back and tail.

Bronco Fly Control for horses works well on dogs, and kennel areas. It can also be found at any farm store with the horse supplies. It works great for just about any type of fly. flea, tick.
