[RC] dogg collars/ to "End-of-her-tether" Kristene - A. PerezI have a dog that is an escape artist. Could climp a 4 foot sheep wire fence when she was 8 weeks old, tunneled under it when I put on hot-wire. As an adult, she can now clear a 4 foot fence without touching it. The 'invisible'/radio-type fence is the ONLY thing that will contain her (but only if used in conjunction with a solid fence.) I tried all sorts of training (hid near the fence with a super-soaker water gun and blasted her when she started climbing it, for example), but she is a sneaky girl, and learned to wait till I was not around to escape. Caveats: they are VERY susceptible to lightning. I've replaced my transmitter at least 3 times. Before buying one ask the manufacturer if they have a model with lightening protection and if they will replace it free of change in the event of a lightening strike. Also, DON"T bury the wire: run it along the top of your solid fence: makes maintenace and repair much easier. RadioFence is the model I use. They sell a 'stubborn' dog collar that uses a bigger battery and delivers more of a jolt. I need this model with my houdini-dog, and you might for your horse. I have gotten zapped by it myself: it is certainly not pleasent, but it is much less of a jolt than a typical electric fence delivers. These divices are no more cruel than a 'regular' electric fence. The major downside is they require leaving your horse haltered or collared: be sure to use a break-away. ________________________________________________ Get your own "800" number Voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
