So when we adopted Lindi, our beautiful Boxer/Lab shelter dog, installing an electric fence was high on the priority list. Way too much money later, we had one installed and proceeded to train her to obey the beeps. Since she is a pleaser and kind of a sissy, she never went through the signal. Until recently…
The wire was cut during a landscaping project and she quickly figured out that she could go play with the neighbor’s dog sans shock. We thought she would return to obeying the beeps after the fence was repaired…yeah, not so much. She acts guilty when we call her home, whichleads us to believe that she knows she shouldn’t do it, but she is a DOG.
After seeking advise on how to retrain her, we followed the instructions to no avail. The jolt from the reciever does not seem to phase her anymore so I suppose we will need to ask them to crank that bad boy up. Does that make me a mean doggie mom?
I guess it can be “invisible” in several ways.
Sounds like someone needs to build a real fence now… :/
