dogs running through in-ground fence: Does anyone have any suggestions?

You need the PetSafe PIF-300-11 Wireless Pet Containment System designed for 180' diameter (360' circle). The errant dogs will get continuous zaps until they return if you use this one. They won't be so quick to leave using this one, and you should later be able to return to using your present ground fence. The alternative is one of the longer distance systems you can control with a hand held transmitter, and holding down the key when you see them take off.

kdawg81-I don't know if you are still having problems with your dogs & neighbors dog but thought I would suggest what we did. Our neighbors dog won't come near our chain link fence but will stand off and bark. We can never see if their dog is out because of trees etc. so there have been times we have opened our door only to have our 2 go nuts up and down our fence line at this dog. A dog trainer recommended the shock type collar for our 2 dogs whenever they went to the fence acting like lunatics. Worked like a charm and quickly. Once and awhile we still put the collars on just to remind them but we are pleased. Yes, they will start to bark but as soon as we call their names they stop and come running. kdawg81-I don't know if you are still having problems with your dogs & neighbors dog but thought I would suggest what we did.

I have to keep these on hand, use them for underground fence for dogs. Never had any problem.

The animals notice something is going on but they haven't run away from it.

in my opinion "NO". It inconvenienced my minpin but did not "hobble" her. I finally electrified the fence by going to a feed store and buying a kit of transformer and wires. Did the trick, she only tried it once, got zapped, and now doesn't even think of jumping it. She also spent time chewing up the "jumping" harness so that was a wash. It would only be useful for walking a hard to control dog.

something i learned is that you can run a grounded line above and below each hot line, that way it looks like you have way more "ouch" to the dogs, also, if they like to jump all they have to do is touch both wires and since one of them is grounded, they don't need to be actually touching the ground to get the zap.

Yes, it would definetly work for that situation, and really you wouldn't have to put it into the ground if you didn't want too. It states in the manual that the fence can be applied above ground, but either way you wouldn't have to worry about that doggie getting out anymore. My dogs will go no where near the boundry line.

Sounds like your dogs are very sensitive. I would think this would scare them, but one of my dogs completely ignore it and the other runs the other way to hide. I hope this helps.

I wouldn't recommend it for unsupervised tie outs, i know my dog and probably any dog can chew through this material. Though it is strong and suitable for letting the leash trail when they are outside running around, for them to sit and chew on it, it would be easy. I would look into a aerial dog run. My do doesn't dog well with the ones in the ground he just digs it out.

It should be fine they should not get close enough to dig however I have a friend who owns huskys and he said they would dig up wire and chew it up :) I would try it like you'd planned

I have the same issue when my pups jump up on the panels.....I've found weaving bungee cords in and out thru adjoining panels helps significantly. Hope this helps! I still LOVE the pen, so much better than crating! :)

No,this is an application determent, it only works if the chew on the fence, and then if they can jump or scoot through it it will not work

If gate is secure with walls the animals would not be able to go through holes

I am sorry, but I don't know the answer to that question....the fence we bought is working great for both of our dogs along with this unit, but I really don't know...you would have to call the manufacturer of the one bought most likely....good luck!

The wires that I installed were almost all above ground on a fence, with the exception of running the wires underground by the various gates in the fence around my backyard. So, im not really sure how to, process of elimination I guess?

HI ML - I can only say that in the past I have had several in ground containment fences (2plus acres) for very active Brittanys. With my new dog (golden Retriever mix) I got the Sport dog system and have been very satisfied. The only thing I would do is get a heavier guage wire to bury - the stuff that comes with the system is a bit flimsy.
