[Dailydrool] invisible fencing

[Bonnie Garner]

Thought I would weigh in on invisible fencing.  I honestly never truly believed in my heart that I would be able to train our bassets to the invisible fence.  I followed all the directions as far as the training, and I now have four bassets that have over two acres to run and play.  I couldn't be happier.  There are days I don't even put the collars on because they will not approach the boundary line.  We live in the country, and we have deer, squirrels, armadillos and rabbits that come through the yard.  They will chase to the boundary line and stop.  The squirrels caught on to this real quick and will tease the dogs from across the fence line.

    If you have someone who is willing to take the time and effort to properly train the dog, I would have no problem voting yes to adopting a rescue out to a family with an underground fence.

    I just recently put my flags back up to start training my foster basset and my new British Lab puppy.  I have so much confidence in the system I'm not even worried or stressed about the training.

    But, by the way, I also have a wooden fenced area for times I want the dogs out but I may not be at home.
