But, yes, you are right. I've lost two dogs to the road. Jenny, who wasn't the sharpest pencil in the box, she was part Golden Retreiver and par Irish Setter. Beautiful dog, dumb as a box of rocks. We got her at about 2 years old and she had NO training. Then Cleo's brother, Teddy, figured out if he got all the way back at the creek and took a good run, he could get thru it with a little zap. Cleo is on it, now Daisy, but their personalities will work with the fence. I haven't decided about Coco, she is pretty docile and listens really well. I would not put Archie on it because he is SO hard headed. <br />My dad wanted to build a fence for me when I bought the place 40 years ago. I told him, who is going to paint it and trim around it, then fill in the holes when the dogs dig under it. He thought the IF was 'pouring money down a rat hole'. Six months later, he was bragging about it. Thanks for stopping by, my friend, enjoy your Sunday.SHARONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18408136143188209922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6133818088253582089.post-15694802362473236412011-09-03T19:44:59.149-04:002011-09-03T19:44:59.149-04:00I figured if a dog ran fast enough, he would go ri...I figured if a dog ran fast enough, he would go right over the invisible fince without much pain. I just bought 100 feet of wire fencing and a few metal fence posts and put up a small area for the dogs. Connected the fence to the house in two place whcih gave them a lot of room. Not much cost at all.Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.com
