Buying a Radio Dog Fence

Our Lab/Setter, Juliette, has proven quite the escape artist. She has triumphantly learned how to defeat the physical fences with which we have surrounded her - by leaping, scrambling, digging, and chewing.

So tonight I went to the pet store and spend a few hundred dollars on an "invisible" electronic fence system. You bury a big wire loop around the perimeter of your yard, and when the dog gets too close she gets a warning buzzer and then an electric pain in the neck.

I live in fear she will learn to defeat this too. Perhaps she will pay our other dog to chew the radio collar off her neck.

I must admit I haven't yet
Found a way to stop Juliette.
