Chicken wire/tarp roof secure?

[ChristineR]

Ours is just in the past few days finally minding enough to not be in the fence (we do have a small area of chain link, but we have almost six acres haha). I was going to hire a trainer because he wouldn’t respond to his name at all despite months of trying to clicker train. I bought a training collar last week and suddenly we have a new dog. He comes when he’s called, doesn’t jump on us anymore, stays out of the front yard (55mph road). So he will be marking eventually...he still squats to pee, but our 10lb female shihpoo lifts her leg when she goes

Some dogs need the e-collar. I would take him out to pee right around the bird pen. I really think it makes a difference. I've yet to see a raccoon try to get into my pens behind the house, which are the ones the dogs spend the most time around. One time I caught a raccoon trying to get into a pen that I had situated way out away from the house. I immediately moved all the ducks to the other pens and haven't seen a raccoon since.
