So you think a dog getting hit by a car or poisened by a neighbor is better than an invisible fence?
I live in a rural area and even people I know what dozens of acres tie their dogs up during hunting season. Many dogs out chasing deer are shot and killed every year by some angry hunter.
In towns and cities there are leash laws. I'd sure rather see a dog inside the safety of an invisible fence than poisoned by people who don't want dogs crapping in their yard, getting into their garbage, etc. Do you not realize there are settings on the collars that can merely give a buzz to the dog just to remind them of their boundaries.
Training dogs is great, but it also depends on the breed. A dog outside will bark at birds, squirrels, etc., and I don't care how great of a trainer you are, I have yet to see a dog trained to stay in their yard.
About a year ago, our county had problems with teen boys just picking dogs up and "relocating them" far from home. My sister's dog was one of them. After weeks, she found her 15 miles from home, emaciated, and had been beaten. You cannot just let dogs wonder. There's not point in arguing the fact. IT'S THE LAW. Don't like it? Write your state rep.
You're probably right. The grass always seems greener on the opposite side of the fence though!
Thanks for the input!
Probably staining the new fence we put up to keep our dogs in and other dogs out.
The neighbor dog won't stop trying to attack our dogs, so we put up a nice big fence. Should do the trick. Doesn't keep the rabbits out, though. We'll BBQ, too. Can't go far. Hubby is on call for the weekend with his job.javascript:editor_insertHTML('text',' ');
