What is the best underground fencing for giant breed dogs?
I need to get an underground fence for my Great Pyrenees, but I am not sure what is the best kind. She's about two years old, and is just shy of 100 lbs. Right now she is tied up, and I can't stand it anymore. Putting up a fence is not an option. (I tried, and she just walks over it.) And she really doesn't like to live indoors all the time, so an underground fence is pretty much the only choice. Anyone with underground fencing - what brand do you suggest?
PS - I don't want to keep other animals or people out - the neighbor kids come and play with her all the time. She is also friends with the neighbor's dog, (who runs free) and he comes in our yard to play with her. So other animals/people are not the problem. The problem is the interstate that is only a few miles away. She is too silly to stay out of the way of cars. But I really cannot put a fence up. I moved in with my father when I started grad school, and he refuses to let me put up a fence. Believe me that was my first choice. What to do?
Answer:
I know that Innotek makes a good underground fence. (I've included a link to some Innotek products....sadly, no commission for me!)
More important than the fence is the collar unit. A good underground fence will have a steadily increasing ultrasonic audio response as the dog moves closer to the fence, rsulting in a shock if the dog gets up to the line. Also, make sure the shock is appropriate for a dog of your size. Too small of a shock won't faze the dog; too large will knock it senseless.
Other piece of advice - plant plenty of flags so the dog knows where the new boundary lies. As time goes on, GRADUALLY remove the flags.
Good luck!
