If they keep running at the fence and getting zapped (as a big dog), well i would not let that continue but it was an OK try. As a tiny dog it cant handle this and its not right and not the way to go at all. |
You're not getting the gist of why wireless fences are not safe. The dog that is with-in this fence wears a shock collar that keeps him inside the wireless area, other dogs and animals
can get in because they do not have a shock collar on and reason a wireless fence is not safe for any size dog. If you have a medium size dog with shock collar on and a larger dog enters a fight can pursue, the dog with the shock collar cannot get out of the wireless fence area and flee to safety, that dog can get killed by the larger one.
