For those of you who don't know, we have two dogs, and they love to run away. It seems like everytime we let them out of their kennel or off their lines, they run away and don't come back until they want to...which sometimes is never. So, we decided to try this new thing called an invisible fence. It beeps and shocks the dogs when they go past the buried wire through a collar we put on them. Well, we started working with them yesterday on it, and they were so confused about what was happening and why they were getting shocked, etc. They would look at us like "What are you doing to us? We are so scared!" They hid behind me so Ted couldn't work with them, and then they stayed right on our porch the rest of the morning. So, we work with them every morning for about 15-20 minutes teaching them that they shouldn't go past the line (they know the line is there because we put all these flags out in our yard on the line). They still go past it when they run really fast to the other side, and then they get stuck on the other side, so it is quite the process as you can imagine. We will be working with them for the next couple weeks and we hope it will eventually work so that they stay in the yard and don't run away anymore. Wish us luck!
