Hi Everybody, I've heard some of you talk about buying new vehicles to transport your beloved BMD's. Well, after the discussion of the IF I just wanted to let you know what my husband and I decided. We'll move (is there no thinking rationally when you want a BMD)! We were kind of thinking

Hi Everyone I have never used an invisible fence but our Tory who came to us at 4 1/2 years old (she is now 8 1/2)was trained on an ivisible fence as a puppy. I doubt if she even wore the collar for more than a few months, but she did respect it and she is a very pain insensitive girl. BUT

Regarding invisible fencing. I do not have one, I have a physical fence. I have almost 3 acres fenced - yes it is expensive and there is maintenance, but I have piece of mind. Friends visit often bringing their dogs over for a run off leach in a large, safe, fenced area. They could not do

Hi Susan and all, I prefer not to place puppies in homes with invisible fences - because it is a system that fails to offer the puppy any protection from other dogs, kids, etc. that may enter the property and cause harm. We got along just fine with our invisible

My backyard has a multi fencing system that has always worked well for us -- there's a new chainlink dog yard (40x70') which I love, and the perimeter of the greater than 1 acre yard is fenced with picket fence along the road side, a thick cedar hedge between us and the neighbours to the east
