For example, then its even safer to put my dogs in crates in a windowless room with the door bolted!!! Wouldnt that make them even safer? They couldnt escape or be stolen or fall or get stepped on etc. But safety isnt the only thing a doggie wants and needs and life is a trade off between risk and safety and life!! (I know this is a silly example but the point is the same)
It is a balence! I respectg how you draw the balence for you and your dogs. |
There is a huge difference in shielding your dog from everything and using a wireless fence. The risks outweigh any pros in wireless fences. Supporting a wireless fence that SHOCKS your dog and offers no safety is disturbing. Go read the rehoming thread again and see how the negative training one of those using a shock collar ruined that dog. When there are pros it’s worth really thinking about but this isn’t. You should never just put your dog outside without a leash or real fence and that is what you are doing by using a wireless fence. Dogs have instincts and they will not care about pain to follow them.
