Aneira has a hard time at the vet and will often curl up to me or my fiance so the vet can't get too close but the moment we walk out she wants everyone to pet her and she loves everyone BUT the vet. like other people have suggested I think you should just ask that you not see that nurse again as she made you feel uncomfortable. It doesn't sound like a behavioral problem to me since she doesn't act like that normally, but then again I'm no expert.

the only thing i would worry about with chicken wire would be them ripping out claws since it would be quite easy for them to get caught and he is no going to know that its there until he is digging at full speed. hopefully it will work though good luck

no problem still going to be a lot of filling it holes though lol

been in the triple digits the last couple weeks got the kiddie pool set up but aneira just stands in it.... she prefers ice over water

if you want to keep him from getting out you could also drive re-bar in the ground around where he is digging. the re-bar wont stop the digging but it will keep him in 24 inch rebar spaced every 8 inches or so should do..... most likely cheaper than cement

did the teen have fur??? yes the shock is more powerful on direct skin but dogs have fur. these are the ratings for voltage on an electric fence First of all, a controller must produce enough voltage (electrical pressure) to overcome the resistance of the hair and hide of the animal. This is termed the guard voltage and is given by the type of livestock; minimum values are: • 700 volts for short-haired animals (such as cows) • 2000 volts for long-haired animals (such as sheep) • 2500 volts or greater for other animals (such as deer). , , the voltage is less than 30 milli-amps and the duration of the correction is 1/4 of a second. at low voltage. think about basic electricity. even with the use of compactors in the collar the stored electricity is coing out at 30 milli-amps at 12 volts or less. there is no way to increase the voltage merely the amperage. the average static shock from a doorknob ranges between 3000 to 10000 volts.... at even lower amps of course but if you do the math the wattage, which is the amout of work the electricity is doing is the same

is it not true that when an alfa in a pack corrects a pack member the dog being corrected whimpers? its a sign of submission not pain

the newer ones dont repeatedly shock the dogs and the shock is no more than a static shock that you get from touching a doorknob or when you get off a trampoline. i myself have tried shocking myself with one and it is not inhuman. the shock is intended to give the dog a similar sensation as a alfa nipping there neck as discipline. huskys on the other hand are hard headed and strong willed so the shock collars normally dont work but in the case that you have another fence then it might be a good idea. you could also get a remote spray collar if you dont like the idea of shocking and sit by a window and spray him when he starts digging

found out vinegar is supposed to work really well to kill the odor and enzymes

i have kilz to put over it but i was wondering if i needed to clean it with something before i kilzed it

Aneiras reason was simple 5mo puppy + smell of food = getting over the gate by all means necessary

i am redoing the floors at the house, pulling up carpet and putting down pergo. when i removed the carpet there are multiple urine stains on the subfloor from our little dachshund. i was wondering how i need to clean this before putting down the new floor

ok so does that mean i have a funsize husky lol

"short people got no reason to live" - Randy Newman i love that song

We had one in the doorway to the kitchen and even at only 5 months Aneira climbed over it to get on the other side. We kind of gave up on them after both dogs figured out how to get over them.
