Radio Fence?
Radio Fence?
I am considering getting a rat terrier. I live on 11 acres and dont have a formal fenced yard. Are there any of the radio fence products that are worth having? I would really appreciate any information available. chaz- |

I would really appreciate any information available. Chances are that you won't successfully contain the dog in the long run - unless you are willing to give it some significantly painful shocks right from the beginning. And even if you do that the risk of failure is pretty high. You have a breed with high prey drive, high pain tolerance, and strong stubborn streak. The system could be sufficient for a while - but eventually a cat or squirrel or something will get your dog so focussed on the chase that it doesn't even notice the shock. Dogs bred to engage in battle with their prey - as terriers are - are bred to ignore the pain that will naturally occur in such battle. Radio collar fences tend to fail when the dog is in prey drive mode. http://www.dog-play.com/efence.html Diane Blackman |
