Petsafe Radio Fence

[Clyde]

I've just bought one of these. Anyone else tried them?

I haven't installed it yet but the idea is to keep the dogs off my garden beds.

I've just read Ernys post in another thread that they (electronic collar systems) shouldnt be used on dogs under 6 months. One of my dogs was born 3rd May this year. She's a Stafford but she is also very sensitive so now I am worried about using it :rolleyes: It was 700 bucks so I'm thinking maybe I rushed in to this decision.

Any thoughts? Would the lowest zap be okay? The training process takes about 2 weeks according to the manual.

Clyde,

I wouldnt be using such a thing with a dog as young as yours. The potential is there to create permanent behavioural issues if things arent done properly. I would seek professional advice from a behaviourist before you attempt to use the fence on your pup.

It is better to be safe and do things right first time then you do not have to worry.

good luck
