For everyone worried about jet being on the runner.. understand that this is for bathroom breaks and when I can’t keep watch on him for short amounts of time. He is an inside dog and sleeps in my bed every night! He is NOT tied to this chain all day.
Lifehack for doing concrete posts: pour dry bags of Quikrete into the hole to the level you want your concrete. Pour warm water into the hole and agitate to get a compete mix. Level and square your posts, no mixing in a wheelbarrow and the result is very strong.
We had an invisible fence for our husky she loved it she'd hang out in the yard happy digging for hours. She hardly ever "checked" it and we'd go months n months without changing the battery. Was way better than when we had her on a regular wire (didn't know something like this existed back then). Whenever she get loose before the IF she'd run n run n run and be almost impossible to catch almost lost her forever a few times.
@@Create208 the person we got her from as a puppy told us Huskies have no sense of direction to find their way back home. That definitely wasn't wrong, she'd run and run and run and run.
@@MM-fe9mz well that is bred into them after all.... not a good choice for an inside dog....lol.....they are cute tho...especially with different color eyes
So I had a Chow that decided 170 acres wasn't enough to run on. I installed a underground system from PetSmart. It was really easy. I placed the yellow wire line along a hedge of trees on my two acres. A few places, like my gravel driveway, I had to bury it. To do it over, I will put the wire in plastic tubing to keep the sun from drying out the plastic on the wire, and from rodents from chewing on it. The wire transmits a radio signal to the shock collar. You can set the width as to when the collar starts to give a vibration warning to the dog. Also, you can increase the intensity of the shock. The lowest for a timid dog and the highest for a naughty dog. You might want to consider it.
I used one of these ziplines for a malamute years ago. He broke it so many times....the pulley, the hook at his collar, even pulled one of the poles down once. Good luck.
Jet is gorgeous, huskies have such a loving playful temperament. I used to have my huskies on a cable run like this for potty breaks. I installed the cable just over the height of my head (6 feet or so). This kept them from getting tangled in the lead. Also the idea about the cable stops before getting to the post is a good addition. However over time the plastic pulley wheel will break up from the impact into the stop (just get a new pulley part, metal if you can find it).
