q. How to keep our dog on our property
We have an open yard (no fence/dividers), as do all 5 of our neighbors. I
want to be able to play with our dog in our yard without him running over to the neigbor's yard. I will always be out there with him and he is good (not perfect) at coming when called. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to train our dog to stay on our property without using a fence or electronic fence. I was thinking of getting some of those white flags used to mark electronic fences and making a perimeter, walking him around the perimeter, trying to train him on where the property line is. Thanks in advance. David |

Thanks in advance. David The same principle as an "Invisible Fence" but without the precision and consistency that a device, rather than a human, offers. It can be done, rather effectively, especially since you intend to be out there with the dog. You'll need a long-line and a collar that can't be backed out of. Walking the perimeter is rarely enough. "Setting up" some temptations on the other side of the boundary (neighbors barbequing for instance) gives you an opportunity to correct any attempt to go past the boundary. The more prepared you are for these tempations, the faster the dog will learn. Level of correction will vary dramatically per the dog.

What I am unclear on is how do I make the dog aware of an invisible boundry? Beyond putting up temporary flags and walking him around the perimeter, and practicing getting him to come when called, what other suggestions do you have for training the dog. Please be as specific as possible. I appreciate your help. David "J1Boss" wrote in message ...
