Help training a dog boundaries

Addict · Post by **Addict** » Thu Dec 29, 2005 2:20 pm

I was wondering what the best way to teach a dog property boundaries is. I have a neighbor that is having issues with his red heeler.

I taught my dogs my property boundaries with the ecollar but am not sure they really like the idea of using one on their own dog. I think it would be much easier using a collar but what alternative methods can be used?

Thanks,
Addict

Haha you read my mind Ezzy.

I don't let me dogs roam free, they are either in a kennel out side, in a fenced back yard, or in the house. If they are in the house they are supervised or else in Crates. The simple thought behind this is, if that dog knocks someone down, or damages someone's property you are liable, in this country that is not a good situation to be in.

I know you are supposed to be neighborly and all that but my idea is simple, KEEP YOUR "bleep" DOG IN YOUR YARD AND I WILL DO THE SAME. Preferably fenced in your yard.

I have enough dogs to manage I don't need the neighbors dog over as well.

Don't even get me started on those annoying neighbors that can't keep there dogs quiet.

I share the same view. If I weren't renting then the yard would be fenced. They are in the same boat, rented house. They have gotten better about it but it still happens once or twice a week.

They have just seen how my dogs stop short of our property line and want the same thing trained in their dogs. I never leave my dogs unsupervised either and we have discussed this as being part of the solution.

If you remember earlier posts of mine these are the same neighbors that had problem dogs. They are making an effort to remedy the problem by having me help them train their dogs. I also am going to let them borrow my tt bark collar to hopefully get the barking under control.

could try taking your collar over to them and have them feal the intesity of the lowest setting. Than tell them every dog is different that it may take a bit more than the lowest aetting than ask if you can give it a try with their dog just to show how well it works. They will probably go and buy one right after that.

A garden hose or bucket of water should do the trick. If they won't discourage him you'll have too. Maybe they'll get a clue when the dog comes back soaked.

I live 2 doors down from a german shepard that will not shut up when I am out back grilling, chopping wood, watering the garden, etc. The dogs right next door love me and can't wait to be petted when I am out. They do not bark at me because I made friends with them. I'm not so sure about the shepard though. Thank goodness we all have fences. In 2-3 years it won't be a problem, as we will be moving where there are no neighbors....

I tell you what. I have a game bird farm at my place. On occasion, a stray dog or a neighbors dog heads over to check out the birds in the aviary. Although the aviary is double fenced in, As you could probably imagine, we don't like dogs salivating over our birds that we have worked so hard on.

We also place foot traps all over in between the 2 fences. The first time one of these strays gets an "iron shoe" they never come back.

Obviously, if you want to train your own dog boundaries, this is not what you do, but for strays and potential threats to my well-being, this works for me.
