Leash Tie Out?

Does anyone use a leash tie-out type thing in the yard when playing with their dog? I don't have a fenced in yard and am probably getting a dog sooner than I am getting the yard fenced. The dog I am probably going to foster from the shelter likes to play fetch so I was hoping to come up with a way to play fetch with her in the yard but have her still be "on leash" so she doesn't run off, obviously. The leashes i have are 6 ft leashes so I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for leash tie-outs or long leashes or any experience in general with playing with a dog on leash in the backyard? Thanks!

That's what I was thinking. I was looking on Amazon at tie-out cables that are 30' even though I probably don't need that much. I guess you also buy like a metal stake to go in the ground? I see some people loop them around trees but I don't have many good sturdy trees in the backyard...does anyone know if these would be the "right" tools to buy? Or something similar? I also see that they sell the two together but the cable appears to be only 20 feet...that might would be enough for small games of fetch...any opinions appreciated!

Thank you for the replies!! I will probably do that while I save to get my yard fenced - I just can't afford to get it done yet. #teacherprobs

Thank you for the input! I got a metal stake from PetsMart and a cable off Amazon with really good reviews so hopefully it'll work.

Thank you for the advice! I'm just looking for a temporary fix until I get a fence. I only foster dogs so they're only with me temporarily. Typically, they always are on leash with me when outside but this one really likes to play fetch so I was trying to come up with a way to play fetch with her in the yard while she is still technically "on leash."

Do these overhead leash tie outs have to be tied to trees on either end? I'll look into them!
