If you are a new dog owner or simply love dogs, my RU-vid channel will help answer many of your questions. As a first time dog owner myself, I can teach you the methods and techniques I have used to overcome the many unforeseen issues and problems that have arisen.
Been using inground fence for over 10 years. I too tested the collars on myself. ( level 5 will contain a horse I'm certain of it) + No way in hell a human could stand it to their throat like a pet. 110 lb pitt and a 130 lb pitt, males, stubborn has a k9 gets, + level 3 + a 30 ft range to the wire totaling 60 ft wide swath of " INSTANT SHUTDOWN " 1 dog thought he was going to be tough and charge it at 20 ft swath, and got through it. so.. ( no increase of power) just widened to 60' and it drops his big ass like a sack of potatoes and he lays down in submission ( the shock induced screaming or lack there of was tough to hear/witness, "but hey, I said stay in the GD yard" ).. after 30s it stops shocking the dog ( built in safety) and he scurried back in the yard. It only took once. >>>now the boundary width is only 6 feet. (they don't want any more) I swear by these systems, only there is a catch,,, you have to know how to use them properly. And petsafe transmitters are cheap junk ( have 4 bad ones hoping they will give me one on the house if I trade in enough dead ones. Higher priced brands of transmitter have the same problems.. ( lightening kills all cool things and surge protectors on the loop for these things are nearly worthless). Only way to make any inground transmitter last the test of time is to unplug them completely during storms otherwise it is a gamble. ( you have a huge antenna around the property! ) + These things are a gift from God if you take the time to learn them and not torture a pet in the process(train them as long as it takes... the recommended 30 days and remove the flags is garbage, every pet is different), COLLAR MUST BE TIGHT ENOUGH TO CONTACT SKIN AND ALSO TIGHT ENOUGH THEY CANNOT TURTLE NECK OUT AND DROP THE PRONGS FROM THEIR SKIN, and keep a close eye on the transmitters, they also weaken over time shortening the boundary width, and no rechargeable collars, 9v batteries only, have a spare. I keep some flags out year round for 1 dog, and mainly to warn criminals ( step past those flags and you might die ).+
It’s more important to teach them to come to you, the porch, a target to the tones. They should rarely get corrections. They should learn tones mean turn around. Glad you got her straightened out.
This is one of the most disgusting things I have seen in life!!!! What's the big problem with your pets? I am literally throwing up!!! Love your animals!!! ❤❤❤
THE ONLY SUREST WAY TO KNOW IT WORKS PROPERLY ❤😂🎉 ONLY YOU ARE THE MOST HONLRABLE OWNER OF A HAPPY DOG AND STAND A LITTLE TALLER THAN THE NEXT NEIGHBOR😅
Thank you so much for the information. We are thinking about getting a dog, and we have an acre of property. When I heard you say, that it took you one afternoon, it sure made the whole thing seem much more doable. Keep up the good work! I wonder, will a wire system, keep a larger dog in the yard, just don't have any experience in that area.
Hello, I have a question for you. I installed a loop of 16 gauge wire about 350 feet across part of my land. I would like to install another loop in another part of the field but since I no longer have enough 16 gauge wire can I use the wire that came with the kit purchased which is 20 gauge. The new loop will have approximately 200 to 250 feet in length and both loops would be linked together and operated on the same transmitter. Thanks in advance for your help and reply,
Does it have to be buried?? How deep does it have to be buried? And can u cement over it when it comes to a driveway Because iv no way digging across a driveway
I have trained two dogs with a perimeter collar, their initial reaction was the same as you described, complete confusion, back to the porch, not wanting to leave the porch for a few days. However, both dogs learned when their collar was off. Worked well as long as the collar was on, especially the one dog, she KNEW when it was off and she totally took advantage.
Great video. We have an escape artist for a pup. Thinking about getting a fence round our yard. It's a mixture of lawn and concrete Do you put the wire straight into the ground or put it through conjugate for protection of the wire. Will that reduce the signal strength? Thanks
Here i am thinking, they're invisible. How are there different types. Let your imagination run wild I guess..lol They shock the dog! I'm not down for that. If you don't have proper fencing. Don't get a dog.
So my dog got a shock during the summer and even though we took the collar off for two and a half months when we put it back on as soon as he heard the noise he will not go back to the backyard again. We only have it set at vibrate and bell at this time and we do not plan on increasing it but we can't get him in the yard. Can anybody give me some advice.
Thanks for uploading these videos! I just got this for my dogs on our one acre yard. This was very helpful and you made it very easy to understand. I’ll be installing mine this weekend.
I found all 3 of your videos very informative and gave me things to think about that I didn’t even consider since I had never done this. You and people like you are one of the positive things about RU-vid.
I have a complete 48 inch high sturdy fence around my acre yard. My newly acquired Irish Wolfhound easily leaps over often. Can I simply mount the signal wire to the fence? My soil is very rocky, difficult digging. Great videos. My kit arrives today!!
On the electric fence, your shoes act as an insulator so you won’t get the full effect. When I was a kid, I didn’t think the fence was working (because I had tennis shoes on with thick rubber soles) despite my dad assuring me it was so he finally told me to hold the fence with my left hand and put my right hand on the ground. Let’s just say, it was definitely working. 😆 That shock felt like it knocked my teeth out.
I worked at a doggie daycare decades ago where they used anti bark shock collars. They would occasionally go off in my hand if i was carrying them and they knocked together. I noticed they would go off sometimes when a dog wasn't barking. So I tested them out on myself. Is it going to kill you no. Does it hurt? Depends on your pain tolerance. I'd say it's more highly uncomfortable. Dogs have a higher pain tolerance than we do. That said, I decided to take the batteries out of them and train the dogs to stop barking. No I didn't tell my boss but she didn't tell her clients that she used shock collars on their dogs either. So I didn't feel too bad. Later I became a dog trainer. I am retired now but still train German Shorthair Pointers for fun never ever using shock collars. They're just the laziest way to train an animal imo
In our sport dog manual it shows a walk behind asphalt/concrete cutter machine. I would think a concrete blade on large grinder tool would work, like the kind of grinder if you had to fix plumbing encased in concrete. Both should be available from either a Hope Depot, building supply centre, or machine rental shop.
