electric fence questions

lol that pic.

well unfortunetly we can only afford the 39" field fence, its the cheapest stuff and to do as much as we need to we cant afford to go higher, the wire costs alot more even just for 47".

we are going to put a strand of hot wire above it, in hopes that will make him think twice. i gotta say, the fencing hes been in so far is not even close to great, and he hasnt tested it at all. he hasnt had much reason to, nothing on the other side for him to get, but he still hasnt tried. our 2x4 wire hes in is only 36" with hot tape above it. i know im gambling, but like i said i cant afford to do it much higher. time will tell!
thanks everyone

This Karakachan in background never go beyond, never jumps... very domiciled.

The good thing is with these dogs (Pyrs), that no matter if they go beyond your perimeter - they always coming back, and rather quickly!
They don't wander for hours, they don't get lost, like some other house dogs.

see thats conflicting with what the dogs previous owner told me, he said when they get out they LEAVE and are gone for a while, prob wouldnt come back if he didnt go get them. im just not seeing that from this dog, he doesnt seem to care about leaving or getting out of the yard, im just hoping once he has the whole property and possibly sees deer or anything beyond the fence that doesnt change. like i said, time will tell! but im glad to hear your opinion on how they wont go far and will come back. makes me feel better.

To ensure their coming back and quickly two things must prevail:

1. LOVE/BOND they must to love you so much and your property and your animals and your whole setup, that any other places won't be so desired for them
2. SCHEDULE for example feeding at the same time of a day (and good foodlol), so they think to themselves; hey, we cannot skip that breakfastha-ha

At least, this is the environment Im creating for my, and it works!
