Thank you! My boy is my life and would do anything to keep him and the livestock safe even if it means he has to be inside of a day for a week or so until we have his run ready
-
Thanks for the link I have already looked at a few and awaiting a response from one company. I've found a 4x4 one which is 1.83m high which we are definitely getting but we want to ensure he has enough room during the day so maybe we could get 2 and then place them together to make a bigger run.

I'm hoping the newly built fences is all that we need. He won't go out of his way to jump or dig to get to them he is a pretty lazy dog that's happy to just sniff around and lay in the sun. We will build a secure run for him to be in while we are at work which will give us some piece of mind

I'm not sure if the sheep will be visible to him as the sheep will be in the vineyards which is behind the property and behind the vineyards there's a dam so he probably won't even see them. His eye sight is very poor too he can barely see a metre ahead of him haha
-
It's fully fenced with brand new fences I've been told. He won't jump or dig to get to them. We currently live on a property with broken fences and he chases them when he can get to them. When the sheep are in the front paddock they are safe because the fences are semi ok not completely broken so he doesn't even bother when there's a half decent fence

We are moving to a property with small ringlock at the bottom and I think it gets bigger towards the top and some barb wire along the top. Our sharpei has a problem with chasing sheep just need to know how fences will keep him in or what I can do to contain him on our yard
-
What does everyone do to contain their dogs on their property?
-
How is everyone dogs with rural fencing for example ring lock and barb wire. Does anyone have any problems with keeping their dogs In?

I would love to hire a trainer but money is an issue. I'm only 19 moving out of home for the first time and also studying animals at tafe. Does anyone have any suggestions I really want to work on his recall. The thing that stumps me is when I take him to my parents house their fences aren't great and they have cattle always in the paddocks and he doesn't even bat an eye at them I think it's because my parents have border collies and he really enjoys the company of other dogs because h has never really been able to play freely unless I take him to mum and dads because my partners family all their dogs have sheep issue so it's sad that they are all chained up. I hate seeing animals live like that
-
I want to keep him inside while I'm at work until the enclosure is built because building a pen is not only costly but time consuming and my partner drives trucks for a living so doesn't have much time to spare.

So, My partner and I own a 2 year old desexed male Sharpei he is our baby but he has a serious issue chasing sheep. He has grown up on land and has started chasing the sheep since he saw our kelpies do it. We currently live with his parents so they decided they would chain him up to stop him chasing sheep. It is cruel but necessary as their fences are extremely bad and almost non existant. My Partner and I are moving out of home in a few weeks onto a vineyard which my uncle owns. He only just lost 2 sheep to some dogs yesterday and warned me if our sharpei chases or kills the sheep he has to go which is understanding. The property is fully fenced with ringlock and barbwire which is currently being done. Our pei never touched the sheep when they were in the front paddock of our house which is ringlock fencing. I want to take extra precautions in ensuring he will not go near any sheep. I am under the understanding the sheep will be in the vineyards and our sharpei will most likely not even be able to see them as his eye sight is very poor. The only time he will be able to see them is if the sheep come up to the house fence. I am wanting to build him a dog run to have him in while we are at work and let him out supervised while we are at home. While we get it organised is it cruel to leave him in the house of a day while we are at work? I really need some advice on if anyone else has had a similar problem and what I can do to ensure there is no way he can get to any sheep.Because i am so stressed out at the moment and really need some reassurance and help! Please help!
