| Petsafe brand electric fence I have a 15 lb bischon who is 3 1/2 yrs old and a new yorkie which is 5 months old she is only 4lbs now but I was wondering if any of you use the electric fence on your yorkie and if it is the petsafe brand?? I was reading on it and it says for dogs 8lbs or over?? I know she is way to small now but I was wondering maybe when she is older if this brand would work on both my dogs please let me know if any of you use this brand and if so what collar you use. Thanks |

| I can't speak for everybody but I think most members on here have yorkies as indoor dogs and prefer harnesses over collars in general and probably would never use an electric fence on them. But that's just MHO.

| We looked into it awhile ago, and I was going to consider it, til they came out to inspect and give us a quote. I asked them a few questions about the shock, and I wanted to feel the shock for myself set on the lowest, which they said was totally safe. I felt that shock, set on the lowest which is what it would have been set for them, and it actually hurt me... And that was on my finger and I felt it thru my arm and neck. And from there, I apologized fo thier waste of time on coming out to the house, but I told them no way in he$$, would I ever submit my dog to that pain. They did try to change my mind saying it was proven to be safe, but my 2 are both under 6 lbs, and they couldn't GUARENTEE that its completely safe. But this is only my opinion. I wouldn't do it to any animal IMP only.
