  • i didn't mean the shock collar alone, an underground fence would have a wire you bury in the ground and the collar would beep if bart got too close, like within 3', and then if the beep didn't deter him, he would get a static shock (similar to when we get shocked after walking on carpet in wool socks - not painful). hopefully the shock would distract him and send his mind elsewhere, however, it may not work and he may just proceed as planned. i think a small fence is probably the best scenario.

  • im sorry i misunderstood you. I don't think my mom would go for an underground fence. And the construction would probably freak out the rabbits. I will look around to get ideas for a fence. And keep everyone posted.

    Yesterday I came home from class to find him laying on the window sill behind the loveseat! He loves people watching lol. Lately he has been extra mischievous I wish he would get over this kennel cough so I can properly exercise him at the dog park. For now walks will have to do. (Im not much of a runner) He also has a fondness for crawling on the floor he has been doing it more and more. It is just adorable

  • The underground "fence" is simply a wire buried, not a big construction.

  • But keep in mind about underground fences… they can and do learn pretty easily that they can run through for a short "shock"...

    Between the fact that they are "game/food" and the rabbit poop (almost as good as cat litter box poop), you are in for an uphill battle. I would suggest if you do a fence you consider a hot wire at the top and bottom. That would be IMO, more successful that a shock collar (that I totally disagree with) and/or underground fencing.

  • re feet, here's a pic of a chow chow foot (just thought it interesting)

  • Please, no shock collars..it's well, I can't get into a rant..please don't.

    Chows and basenji are among the 11 oldest breeds (earliest split from wolves). You have to wonder what it says about me that I love them both.

  • LOL, while I love all breeds… I just don't want them living in my house, I have a really hard time with the hair... ggg... guess I am just lazy at heart and love these "wash and wear" Basenjis....

    That you're an oldie but a goodie? :D

  • LOL Pat. I got into Rotties with the false notion that short hair meant less shedding… Rotties indeed shed only once a year, but it lasts 365 days. I do love the easy care of the basenjis, and may go with a short haired Chow next time I get one.

    You may want to try frequently rewarding him for staying still before he gets a chance to complain. You can then start building up time between treats once he gets the idea that standing still will get him a reward.

    If we'd all compare notes I'm sure we can definitely plot the correlations on their traits :D My two have Af in them too & yet so dramatically different… C3PO-he's my cuddle bug...loves attention loves to be in the same room & loves to be petted BUT only by his humans :) strangers he'll investigate & if he likes you he'll ALWAYS like you but if he doesn't he'll ALWAYS growl at you. The critters need to be near him within reach for him to go nuts & try to hunt it...like walking on a leash & dumb squirrel just stood in his path so C3PO just SNATCHED him up by this tail :eek: :eek: Topaz-a lot more indpendent! She'll snuggle with you when she wants to at the right time & place. She is the house HUNTER..she'll hunt anything that moves & she's quick too! My little girl WILL play fetch...but with herself LOL :D :D yup she picks up the tennis ball does a :happy dance: on her hind legs carries it up to the couch nuzzles it & throws it off & she goes to retrieve it! :D Both HATE water (she more than him) :mad:
