Perfect Way to Keep My Dog Safe

Perfect Way to Keep My Dog Safe
I installed this by myself, and I'm not technical savvy. It took me a very long time to bury the wire, but that's okay because it works whether you bury it or not. The hardest part was to calibrate the boundary distance.I have a shiba inu puppy who likes to slip his harness and we live right against a VERY busy road. A physical fence is much too pricey for the size of my yard, so we decided the best option was an invisible fence.I followed the included training guide to a tee, and Larry learned it very well. I had also purchased extra flags because I wanted to really put up a lot of them to help him learn his boundaries. I have now started to remove every other flag and he's doing great.One mistake I had made that I learned quickly to fix is that the collar was too loose. You must put the collar on tight enough. The book says how tight but I had given some wiggle room because he's a puppy. That mistake instantly became known when a man walked his dog past and little Larry waltzed right out of the yard to go meet the new friends. Zero reaction was given to the shocks. Since I tightened the collar that hasn't happened again.The collar looks uncomfortable, but Larry is very good at telling us if he doesn't like something, and he doesn't mind it. It's quite bulky for a 15lb pup like him, but he got used to it very quickly and it doesn't seem to bother him at all. I have tested the collar on myself at level 5 and it definitely grabs your attention but does not hurt. Larry only needs level 3 to stay in the boundary.This fence is a lifesaver. People fly down my road very fast and Larry slips his harness sometimes, so this fence keeps him safe in his yard and off the road, even when he sees a squirrel or cat! He still isn't afraid to go on daily walks, which is very important. I was worried it might negatively impact his walks because of fear of crossing the line, but he knows that if he hears no beep there is no correction, so he never thinks twice about crossing the line for walks.
