Steve, years ago I had a fenced yard, but a dog that liked to dig in the flower beds. I bought a fence charger from sears (the things they use to keep cattle off of fences). I ran a thin piece of wire around the flower beds and hooked it up. Dog touched it once and never went into the flower beds again. I got shocked by the thing ad it was a real attention getter. The nice thing about it was I unhooked it after the dog touched it once and as long as that one simple piece of wire was there, he never went into that area.
That thing was designed for cattle. I have a similar problem today. I don't want to use something that strong. Are there similar products but with lower voltages designed for dogs? I've seen ones sold for deer applications but not dogs. I don't want to go the invisible fence route. The prongs on the collar the dogs wear can irritate a dogs skin if worn to much.
Ya, I know someone out there might not like the whole idea. I don't really like it either, but it worked so well!
