I tried to use a shock collar on my goats for a little while. Mine kept trying to come in the dog door so I used on of my training collars to try to keep them from coming in. The problem is with the prongs. I'm not sure how a dog's neck and a goat's neck are different, but apparently they are. The dog has no problem with the prongs but the goat developed holes in her next after only a few days. Scared the bejesus out of me. They have healed now and she is fine, but I will never put another shock collar on one of my goats. The collars you see goats wearing all over are just regular collars. It makes it easier to catch and lead them.

I don't think I'd want to stake anything smaller than an adult Bison out in Washington State.

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife estimates there are about 2,000 adult cougars in Washington state.
