Kimberly, it looks like a very nice setup. What a lot of people don't understand is that an electric fence is one of the safest and most humane confinement methods available. Unlike a chain link fence where many dogs try to dig under and damage toe nails or squeeze through and get caught in the little links, get cut on sharp points on the wire, etc. an electric fence provides immediate decisive impact that will change behavior. Cause and effects...... I touch the fence and I get shocked -- most animals, especially dogs as intelligent as Yorkies catch on very quickly. It usually doesn't take more than one or two encounters with an electric fence before even the most determined critter learns that it just isn't worth it. |
