We have a hard fence around most of the yard, but we would be in a world of trouble if we had to put a hard fence across the driveway. <BR/><BR/>Mount Vernon (George Washington's home) uses an IF fence and about a half dozen pound dogs to keep deer off the ornamentals at night. The IF fence is invisible, and it keeps the dogs in after the tourists go home and the deer come out. Without IF, Mount Vernon's landscape would be mowed to the ground by Whitetail.<BR/><BR/>I own a shock collar to bust the dogs off deer too. I bought it after Mountain ran riot on a deer, used it once, and she seems to have learned. Would it be wrong to use it on my kids :) Just kidding!<BR/><BR/>PatrickPBurnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781540805883519064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-74211688418418081602007-10-15T10:20:00.000-04:002007-10-15T10:20:00.000-04:00Aren't those invisible fences great?

There's the invisible fence, the beeper collar for locating Maggs when she's on point, and this spring I did something I swore I'd never do - I bought an electronic training collar. Maggs is terrible about chasing deer. Of course the damn thing works like a champ. With one mild "correction," I made more progress than I'd made the previous three years of whistle blowing and running all over pastures trying to cut her off.Henry Chappellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18013645114503780931noreply@blogger.com
