Cedar defended herself/my property today

I'm not going to get started by preaching to you.....

I will send you some links I like you to read. IMO I would have nott taken my dog to meet the female Lab again.

The invisible fences work great. Almost everyone on my street has the DogWatch brand, and I have yet to see a dog plow through. For difficult dogs, the perimeter can be set to 12 feet around the actual wire and the highest setting is excruciatingly painful. It responds within 6 milliseconds or something like that, so the dog would get zapped pretty much immediately upon approaching the boundary. So the dog will have to continue to get zapped for the full 12 feet. Very few dogs are willing to do that. An untrained dog might blast through because it doesn't know any better, but most dogs that understand the boundary will turn around immediately. I don't worry at all about my dog or other dogs getting out.

Now, if there was a pitbull with an extremely high prey drive looking to get out to fight, then I would be worried as it may just plow through, but around here, everyone has labs, beagles or Golden's and they're all friendly anyway.

Evidently not quite all of them!


BTW, a little BS BS!
