Electric fencing conundrum

[jambi1214]

I still can't keep dog in. With it measuring 11k on meter, etc she goes right under. Even shaved some of her hair. Thought about putting metal collar on her, no good....have 3 ground rods, no grass or anything touching lines. 3 strands, bottom is high tensile wire...watched her go right under no big deal touching wire.

That must be SOOO frustrating for you
I've had similar experiences with dogs & cows. I'd work for hours, sure I'd finally gotten it this time, and they'd be out before I got to the house! Or worse - they'd be sitting next to the fence watching me watch them, just waiting for me to turn my back.

This is a crazy idea... just of the top of my head.... but I've seen where people would duct tape a PVC pole to a goats horns to keep them from sticking their horns through woven fence & getting stuck. And I've seen where people have put harnesses on their cats & small dogs with a sick (or even a wooden spoon) across the back to keep them from going between gaps on deck railings & such. So I wonder if you could rig up some sort of collar/harness that would be safe for the dog to wear but would also guarantee contact - or even prevent it from being able to hunker down low enough to get under?????

I mentioned prior doing this but yes going to have try it now....ugh sooooo don't want to. She was.petried.of same fence before and worked for a year now moved and she goes back and forth under it.... Same as you mentioned. Husband touches it and woah feels it...we are good....dog....goes right back under...I don't know if it's her coat...or what...

Maybe just something that would slow her down in the actual crossing? Maybe she's figured out that if she goes fast enough it'll only be a quick zap that's hardly felt. But if she has to go over or under something just before the fence, she'll have to slow down...????
Like ...... another wire a foot inside & lower???

Oh she goes slow right under it. Pushes it up to go under. I have the strand as low as it can go. Was wondering if putting her pinch collar on vs no collar etc if any of that would make difference.
