</font><font color="blue" class="small">( My problem isn't keeping other dogs out of the yard, but keeping the deer out of the yard. They are driving the dogs crazy when the dogs are inside and the deer come into the back yard. Any suggestions to keeping them away??? )</font>

1. Go to Blockbuster

2. Rent "The Rookie" with Dennis Quaid

3. Take notes

have had 4 dogs on the original invisable fence in the past. 3 jack russels and 1 husky.
2 of the jr's learned fast not to get to close. The husky had such thick fur I don't think it really hurt. Even though he chirped a bit he would come and go as he pleased. No amount of training seemded to matter. One of the JRs was the same.

The female JR we had leaared to sit by the fence and let it beep till it went quite and then mozy on out. I leared to vary the signal strengthe now and then to her frustration and turned off the beep on the coller. SHe Eventually got the piont...

They work well if the dog hates pain or is fearfull of pain it can't see coming.

Good luck.... We still have one of the JR's and have not put the fence uo yet as he is 8 and stays close to home now a days.

Had to give the Hsuky up he kept geting after the neighbors horses. By the way they don't seem to have the best sence of whatr direction is home either....

actually huskys have a great sense of direction. they just dont want to go home. they have a very strong drive to wander and create territory for themselves. mine wound up staking out about 600 or so local acres and befriending all the locals. she would get fed about 5 times aday, and get extras for killing critters for my nieghbors. in the end she was only coming home every 3 days or so.

That explains it. except mine would stay gone till I went found him. Probable figured why walk home when pop will come pick me up if I just keep wondering around. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif He was also only about yr old when I gave him to a family whith a high fence He kept jumpung the 4' one I had at the time and a female husky to pal around with....

Dave,
We have had a version of invisible fence for about 6 years now. We have a very stubborn Golden Retriever and a loveable, dumb Black Lab. With the original system, they would just go right through. They didn't like it, but it was worth it to get to the water. Then we upgraded.... to the "Stubborn Dog" system. I don't know if it was the system or my threat that the next step would be a car battery around their neck, but they won't cross that line for anything now..... Even during power outages! These collars are potent. I accidently got bit by one of these collars and it just about took me out!

Our dogs current collars are starting to get a little tired and I looked on the web site and they have a new, improved version that really looks nice. I may be upgrading again soon. Here is their website Radio Fence

Junkman,
We used a product called a wireless deer fence last summer. It seemed to help. It's not perfect and I think it takes a while to "train" the deer, but it seemed that we saved some of our flowers after installing some of these units. Here is the website: Wireless Deer Fence
