Yeah to be honest it's probably the trachea. The ultrasonic thing might affect her too but if I take her out alone without maggie it would only affect her. I feel like it might be better to let her fear that vs. she having one of those ecollars. (which I wont lie I have gotten frustrated enough to think about training her with it).
I used to have a harness but this is the family dog(the white one) and she pulls with so much force.... my mother has lupus and this is literally hurting her arms and shoulder... The lupus is recent. She's been with us for 8 years now. (i know it was 8 yrs because my brother gifted her to my mom during the time I started with my psychologist- about 2 months after).
My mothers health has been degrading rapidly, Im mostly the one who walks the dog, but she does it in the morning. Our fence is in no way ready.... Id say our dogs are dumb enough to leave... but that'd be a lie. They're smart enough to know how to get out on their own.... I don't quite know what to do about that either. Thought about an invisible fence to be 100% certain they stay in our yard. If they leave, the chances of them surviving is imho less than 20%. Between living on a busy road, the fact there are bears around, and deer.....
Really I want to make a fence so dog proof even a strong big dog like say a pitbull or a mastiff would not be able to dig through.... while keeping our scamps out of harms way.
