In September 2008, we finally decided to install an electric fence around our yard for the dogs. It took a large amount of convincing for me, as I've always been adamantly opposed to the idea of an electric fence. However, a real fence was not an option for us, and our dogs desperately needed running room. So, after a long and difficult decision process, I caved.
Much to my surprise, the dogs trained rather easily, and 3 months of training later, they were pros at going outside alone. They absolutely LOVE having the yard to play in. These days, I can't believe I was ever against it. I have become a very big believer in the fence (when dogs are trained on it properly) and I know my dogs are thankful for the space.
This is the first time we were out together without leashes. Green grass, lots of space to run, and FREEDOM!
