Hi ya'll!

I live in a rural area of North Alabama. We have a fenced in back yard with a pool, so there's not alot of play area there for the puppies. We have 5 acres and I let them play outside several times a day, but I want to teach them where the play boundaries area.

THere are tall weeds in my neighbors garden that I don't want them in. There are acres of woods behind my house that lead to the river and the wildlife refuge. I certainly don't want them in there! How do I teach them which area of the yard is playyard,i.e., where the boundaries lie? I am with them every second they are outside. I just get tired of chasing them when they go too far.
