Here's the e-fence that Ed Frawley recommends:

http://www.leerburg.com/sd2000.htm

You can attach it along the TOP of your existing fence (no need to dig a trench & bury the wire) -- But a bitch in heat can't be trusted not to run right through an e-correction during her receptive period & of course, it will NOT keep male suitors out of your yard <:-O

ok now i have a semi simaller problem my dog likes to go next door for chicken (or what ever is on their dogs menu) I just picked up a invisable fence today after I was told he went chaseing horses last night and there is now a shoot to kill order on him but the thing is he would never bother the stupid animals by him self unless the idiot next door has her dogs loose or some one or some thing is chaseing them I let my dog out early this morning 2Am to be exact (which I didnt know) the animal control officer said him and two other dogs were running the horses but their was no way for me to know what was happening at that hour when I am still asleep and letting the dog out when I am guessing it is 7-8Am when he normally bothers me so any ideas?

Pierre,
Are you letting your dog out and it is "at large"? I do not understand if that is the case.
I keep all of my dogs contained and I am in the country on 80 acres. In fact, stray dogs that come on my property are disposed of.
If I know the dog, and I made it a point to go and look at my surrounding neighbors dogs, I will contain their dog and give them a call or I will run them home.
They will do the same for me, if they see a pointy eared dog or the Bloodhound, they will call. But I have told them, if the dogs are mine and are running their stock, do what they have to do. I have never had a dog get loose, but I have had several calls to make sure they were not mine before they were shot.
We have horses and cattle, and dogs running livestock that are not working cattle dogs are NOT tolerated. Horses that get cut up in barbed wire and underweight cattle are more costly to ranchers than a dog that should be kept home.
I am not trying to be rude or anything and I think it is great that you are looking into containment. It is also unfortunate that the neighbor will not keep their dogs contained as well.

Have you thought about a outdoor kennel for your dog? That way when you are not home or sleeping, you know the dog is contained....

Same question. Your dog is not contained on your property?

the dogs have never been contained except when the bitch was in heat and that didnt stop her from getting hers (and now we have a trespassing case against the owner for entering a locked structure) which I fixed down at the local free clinic so no more playing house for my dog hehe the dogs have chased the horses for close to five years usually when were not looking this attacking the dogs really all started after the womans horse died (which was also not well and had hip problems and was going to be put down) the animal control officer that I spoke to at the time said their was no evidence that a dog had taken it down and I personally dont belive the dogs are able to take down a horse with out chewing on it speaking of that these dogs never have nipped or bit at one of the horses my dog is scared of his own shadow and usually spends 98% of the time sleeping behind the couch going out only when were going for a ride or he needs to go potty he rarely goes out with out some one near by watching him he also sleeps with me (yes I have a big black teddy bear) and usually only wakes me up around 7-8Am and also that is the only time he will play rough with me

Have you ever heard of that couple in america who got an invisble fence? buryed it underground and wen the pup got too close it shocked him.

a wolf or something got hold of him when she put him out to go loo before bed and when the wolf got to the fence with the puppy it shocked them both and he dropped him and the pup ran under the car. the wolf was scared away by the owners when they heard him cry out. he needed god noes howmany stitchs but the fench saved his life.

poor lil tyke, amazin when ya think bout it

he had god noes howmany

Personally, I think wireless fences are great for when you are home and can watch your dogs. Too many things can happen when they are not supervised.
Kennels and crates are the best containment for when you cannot watch your dogs.

my pup is 12 months i think now and i can let him off and call him back no problem and if i stand still and play with his lead he goes barmy and gets me to try put it on him for some reason???

but if he see a bird/cat/dog/car/person he is off or he looks at it and its impossible to distract him. he is like this in my back garden as well, he had a made few days where you couldnt keep him in but now you could take the fence down and he wouldnt leave, the fence blew down in the storm so thats how i no haha.

i was thinkin of training him to a wistle? blow it everytime he stops and treat and he will learn that it means stop and stop watever distrations.

i have been told it works a treat but whats your opinion of this

it may be able to keep your dog in, anyway but just think what can wonder freely into your garden with or without you there, its a good idea as well as your ordinary fence, could even put it before your main fence but never just that on its own.

Thats my thoughts any way x
