The property lines are too close to the area where the dogs go. I hope to put up a real fence someday. We had one at the previous house we lived in and loved it. In the meantime we use a Sport dog E-collar on one dog, the puppy is on a tie out or leash and the other one sticks close to home. One of us is always outside with them. Time consuming now, as our German Shep is only 3 mo. I use the e-collar because Sam (LD) loves to run.We live in the woods, but have a close neighbor. I can call him back easily and quickly. Most time now it is to the sound, not the zap. He is 1-1/2 yr. We even bought the fence, put it up and than decided after testing it that the boundary in the one area was impossible to get far enough away for them to safely manuever and the neighbors did not want us to go beyond the property line. So now we are going to give it to our daughter as she plans on using one when they get their puppy.; ▶ Reply to This
