Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Child Proofing Speakers

Very good idea but how do you send the little guys to bed if their feet are stuck to the floor with blue putty?

Good one.

Thank you all for the responses, and Zimm frightens me.

We have hardwoods, those outriggers look like they would kill the floors. It was hard enough convincing the wife to spend $$$ on speakers, no way she goes for those.

I think we will try the "tacky" stuff solution. Speakers arrived at Texas depot, and we should get them tomorrow. Probably won't get to child proofing until the weekend.

My boys go hard enough all day that we just let them sleep standing up! Being over 50 years old, the only way I can keep up with them is to put blue tack on the soles of their feet.

Was it the shock collar? Bet it was the shock collar. The nice lady from social services said people might not buy into that as fast as I did.

But on the outriggers, you don't have to use the spikes. The spikes come with plates to protect the floor, or you can just use the rubber feet to protect the floor. Outriggers, are the safest bet, and wont' mar the floor.

...if you refuse to consider the shock collar.

Zimm, they now call then 'training collars' so as not to get folks at social services panties all in a wad. How bad could it be? They have training wheels, training pants (training bras;o). I better stop here.

I hate to admit it, but it is bad. when setting the collar (for a large dog) I accidentally set it off while laying on my leg. It will flex every muscle you have at once! Fun stuff.

Next time turn the karma switch to 'OFF' before making adjustments.

That's a powerful collar. My dogs is like a bad static shock at best. I too made sure I tried it before investing in it.

For me, it's a Godsend because it keeps him from heading down to the seafood buffet that is our shoreline and coming back all round bellied, sick and stinky.

Very humane too as I don't think he ever goes by the warning beep so his total shock count is like two from the couple I had to let him experience during initial training. Sure beats him being sick or worse.

Murph,
How does the warning beep work? Is it a separate button on the remote? If doggie does not respond to beep, them you press the electrical button? I like that Pavlovian warning option!
tks
