When my Basset sees dogs that don't belong here he barks and alerts me until I run it off or it leaves. He won't quit alerting until he gets my attention. Short legged dogs and small dogs have to be protected themselves.
Yes underground fences are always getting shorts and need fresh batteries .They're a huge waste of money and time and unreliable. A regular electric fence works wonders though.
We have laws on the books that allows shooting dogs that kills chickens but I hate punishing the dogs when its the owners fault that they're running loose in the first place. I built a fence around my place to keep out the dogs and a predator proof coop and run to keep out other predators.Even...
I bought an "open box" 10 volt electric fence charger on eBay for $50 after sending them an email offering them less than their buy it now price.There are deals to be made everyday lol.
