Oh Blue! He just wants to chase the truck predators away! And for being so brave and chasing that bad ol' truck away, he gets the shock collar! Poor Blue!
Our dogs chase trucks, but they are inside the fence. We are known as the people with the big white dogs. People who jog, walk or ride bikes bring their dogs, who run up at the fence to bark at my dogs. This incites them to a frenzy, since they can't reach the bad dog on the other side of the fence, they turn on each other and fight.
We were outside last week, working on the front gate when a car came by, real slow. The rear window came down, their dog stuck it's head out and barked at my dogs! Of course my dogs chased alongside of the car, barking back. So these nincompoops drive their dog over to our place for some "fun" to bark at our dogs??? WTH??
I wrote the above yesterday, but my computer wasn't co-operating and it wouldn't post.
Is the fence not shocking Blue when he goes through it? Would extra strands of hot wire help? His male hormones may be kicking in. I got really mad at Trip because I couldn't keep him in ANY fence, he wanted to go romancing the neighborhood, so I had him neutered. Then it was his turn to be mad, he turned on the vet and techs, trying to bite them, he was a different dog for about a year, but finally returned to being the dog I knew and loved. I should have had him neutered sooner. Maybe extra strands of more powerful hot wire will help.
This world is full of some real weird folks, isn't it?
That makes a huge difference to have hot wire AND a physical barrier in place. I wish we could have afforded good ol' fashioned sheep fencing with an offset of hot wire but couldn't.
Excellent guardian, though, so I consider her a keeper.
