Hot wire fencingPosted by: Ray LoyaCategory: Behavior Problems Posted on: April 25, 2001 at 23:06:52

| Question:
I just wanted to put my two cents here. I had a problem with my 1 1/2 year old female, she couldn't be outside for 30 seconds without diging a hole under the chain link fence and getting out, and it really took her seconds to dig enough for her to get out. After looking at the different solutions I had available I decided to put a hot wire. I went to the local hardware store and they had a big selection, My step dad wanted the one that is used for cattle and horses, PLEASE DON'T USE THAT ONE, that is a bit too much electricity for a 10 to 15lb JRT, the one I got is designed specifically for dogs it is the K-9 one and if your dog is under 10lb there is an attachment that will lower the watts on the wire. It was a god sent, and I haven't had a singel escape since, and I touched the wire, because I am not going to put my dogs trough pain, and it is not painfull it is just kind of weird. Ray
