: in regards to hot wiring our fence....where would you suggest putting the top wire, we don't want to go all the way to the top b/c we are afraid she will jump over it once she gets that far. we were thinking about a foot from the top, but would like suggestions from someone that had installed a hot wire.
: we are having a blast with our pup. she and her buddy, a 4 month old mix are best of friends and it seems like a match made in heaven!!!
: thanks for all the excellent advice!

Hi Kris,
I have hot wire around the top and mine is about 6 to 8" from the top area, and does a great job of keeping mine inside the fence area.

I personally think that a foot is too low and raising a bit may me more to your liking. I installed mine my self and if I can do it anyone can.
