Having had my last pup run over outside the house (on the quiet road) and ordering another dog we started to look at fence security.
I would like to be able to let the dog out the back to wander safely around the garden.
We live in the country on a quiet farm road the front boundry is 140m of hedge with some wire sheep fencing but overall pretty porous. to the right side we have drainage ditch with a stock proof fence. To the left we have a porous hedge for 25m then a stock proof fence running up the field. The back of the house is open to fields and I have agreed with the farmer to put in a stock proof fence so that to the back the garden will be secure. The front and sides will not be. I was looking today to install stock fence in front and sides but i will need at least 200m and need to put in gates. It will also look a bit ugly in front of the domestic front lawn and privet and not be a simple thing to do.
I have also given some thought to just having a smaller secure area but if i am working around the place I would like the dog to be with me and not tied up.I started to look at the buried wire and collar alert systems as a simpler solution. Does anyone have any experience of these systems?
Any other ideas would be very welcome.
