I think that it's more of them running so fast that they can't stop. It's impossible that they don't feel it. Then they would be desperate to get back to you. If they don't jump over the fence or won't wander if the gate is some how opened-there isn't any reason to worry about it.

I also am a strong believer in Invisible Fence! It keeps my dog in the yard and safe from cars and people! With the proper training and service this can be the best purchase for your dogs!!!

"My hounds are very fast-but because of proper training-they know where the wire is. Also there is a audio warning-clicking that warns them. Remember a whippet is a type of hound- and not all treeing coonhounds are slow. I have 2 of the sprinter breeds & they killed their own food for a long time-apparently they were successful in running down jackrabbits and other prey-as they are alive. I've watched them stalk & kill birds in a small fruit tree. kcancelmo check for message from me."I could have used it yesterday! Max and Zeva went Awol 2x's in one day! Good thin they didn't get run over, or the city didn't get them. Max would have lost the jewels for sure. Someone read the tags, which said REWARD and called. Reward, we did. I will have to look into this. mm Do you find this valuable? |

It works if you take one dog out at a time for training-I reduced my training time greatly-because hounds need so much exercise. I walked them around the yard- showed them the flags-jerked on the collar-said, "No"-walked back to the middle of the yard and went to each flag-stopped about 2-3 ft from flag , said, "No" Then I did it later-Then I plugged the thing up and walked the dog around again and said, "No" and jerked the collar when the electronic collar began clicking as a warning. I did this a few times. Then I let the dog loose. When it approached the wire and it got bit, I called it to me and comforted it & gave a snack-. If the gate gets open-they stay in the yard. It keeps them from getting near the fence to bite someone or dig out. After a few rewards-vet bills-fines-problems from somebody being bit-the fence looks like a really good investment.

And, different breeds of Hounds will probably respond differently to this stimulus. Being that I have Beagle and Italian Greyhounds, even though they are both hounds. I dont have an invisible fence but I can tell you right off the bat exactly how they would react. The Iggy's are wimps - fast, but wimps. The least bit of zap and their tails would be between their legs heading back to Mommy yelping. The Beagle is a bumbling ding a ling - I love that dog... her nose hits the ground and her ears shut off. She would get to the fence and get a warning and jump in air wondering what in the H*** got her.. then she would start baying at it. The "Greagles" - my Iggy/Beagle mix pups (Have a Male & Female)... Belle would tuck tail and run... Spanky probably just start baying and barking. I know these dogs so well. Maybe I Oughta get that fence :)

that is exactly why The Invisible Fence Brand is the best way to go. They have over 3,000 settings to match to your to the , wieght, ago, and most importantly personalty of the pet. It is important because over the shelf sysstems have minimal to no adjustable settings so the "wimps" dont feel to strong of a correction which can cause porch dog syndrome(where they dont want o leave the porch because they are too frightnened

I think that it's great to have so many different settings set up for dogs. Most with a yard needs am electronic fence- It's a bit different for scent hounds. My set-up has 10 settings. I need something adjustable for them. They smell bears & mountain lions in humid air or something else will shut their ears & brains off. Other days- they aren't suffering from houndus scentitious-& their noses stop guiding them. Stonewall is a Bluetick-called the thinking hound-which causes him to be more stubborn & logical. I turned it up for him initially, as he will endure pain-he's smart enough not to bawl at it. Last week he wined, while I worked in roses on the other side of the wire. I'd been allowing them to be collar free. After a few days, I heard scrabbling on the other side of the shed. Like Blueticks, he had his legs spread out sideways & was inching his way up the wall. At the vet's office-he gentley stands up-leans against me & watches the other dogs-there were 3 fights there the last time. He spent almost an hour like that-watching & waiting. The hair on his back was raised. Missy is a nervous Walker Treeing Coonhound. She went out & spent days chopping (walker type of treeing voice) at the wire-trying to make it come out, so she could kill it. She's impulsive & will fight a bear-but when she's relaxed-she's very tender skinned and her feelings get hurt easily-so she goes & sulks like a child. The lowest setting is more than enough, when she feels relaxed, but when she's going, a light charge doesn't do a thing. Then we have Diamond- an old thick-skinned-pig-headed pit bull,. She does what she wants when she wants. I use the long prongs on her collar. For Diamond-a steady setting works at all times- But the hounds have that nose that over rides their brains. They need different settings at different times & I need to do something right then & there.
