I appreciate those who have posted about why they don't work based on experience, that's actually helpful. I was hoping to hear of someone who actually has used them with success. If nobody has a story, that tells me something.
When people post that the fence doesn't protect your dog from other dogs coming in to my yard, I already know that. I'm well educated and versed in the possible reasons they won't work. All I'm asking is for real life experiences from people who have experience. |
I know what you asked for and it makes no sense to me to be perfectly honest.
If you know all of the hazards, and there are MANY, why would you want to hear from someone who is using one and has not YET had a problem? IMHO it is only a matter of time...and one time could very well be the last time for the poor pup.
This thread is just another opportunity for me to voice my opinion that these fences are hazardous. Maybe you don't want to hear it, but other people need to hear it. Dogs can get stolen, attacked by wild animals...or stray dogs...or run out of the yard and get hit by a car. I always suggest that anyone who is thinking about using one put the collar on themselves to see how it feels...then think about the size of their pup and how it must feel to them.
And what does well educated have to do with anything? I have seen well educated people do things that defied logic. Not saying you would, but really why bring it into the picture? Do you think that those of us who don't answer the way you wish are not well educated??
