Using electric cattle fence for dogs.

Hi i m 25 and i was home visiting my parents and noticed my dad put up a cattle electric fence to keep their 2 small breed dogs from breaking through the fence enclosure. One of the dogs won t even go outside any more. Dogs respond best to short frequent training sessions. A physical fence can effectively protect your dog and family from wildlife other dogs and unwanted human visitors.

Although the dogs have been breaking through the fence a lot i think putting up a fence made to hold 1 000 lb cow is a terribly inhumane solution. Put up a real electric fence not an invisible fence. Locate where you want to put your electric fence box. I bought an electric weather proof box that can be left out in the elements.

Or you can buy something stronger like a livestock electric box for larger animals. If possible aim for 2 3 training sessions per day. An electronic one provides no protection for your dog at all. I grew up with electric fences as a necessity in life on the farm whether it was temporary to move cattle from one grazing area to another or more permanent to keep them from reaching through barbed wire for greener pasture perhaps corn on the other side.

I have yet to discern any danger to the dogs created by the fact that there is a livestock fence wire near the top of the fence.
