It's all automated. You run an underground wire around the perimeter of your property. This is hooked into a low powered radio emitter. When the collar gets close enough to the underground wire to receive the signal, it beeps. If he goes even closer, he gets a shock. The signal strength is of course adjustable. Basically, if he gets 5 feet to my property edge, it beeps, if he gets within 2 feet, he would take a small but unpleasant reminder.

I understand there are now kits where it goes strictly by a radius created by a central radio transmitter. Saves burying the wire but I would think that calibrating it to your property lines would be tricky as you would be dealing with a round perimeter shape instead of customizable and also, I wonder how much your buildings and any other obstructions on the property effect the signal strength.

Yep, the concept works great. The warning beep is enough. We had the hand held too, so you could use the warning sound to train him, deter action, etc. Seldom every shocked, add actually used if for years without a battery. Just put it on and he know to act right.

Oh... a DOG collar (I just flipped back to the first page).

Never mind.

What?


Oh, yes, yes, "DOG". Yes. Of course, what else could I mean.

I don't know, by the look on that smoking kids face, it looks like he's afraid to move an inch. I know there is a glass of bourbon, just out of the picture to his left. Actually, I can see his collar!

My attorney has advised that I not answer these questions. In fact, I am not even me. Prank call, prank call!

Always good to check with counsel.
You are not representing yourself are you? (you know what they say.. rhymes with tool... ;o) )







...My counsel injects... "Dave, step away from the keyboard! Poke at an attorney at your own risk!"

No truer statement has ever been make, I've seen it happen.

Not on the point of stability, but to protect the grill cloth (which will be attacked for its see-through flexible nature) you should search for the metal grills that came up on the forum in the last few months. I forget who did it, but will try to remember. Really came out great, although the look was not for everyone.

Edit: it was Turbo16v that did the metal grills.

Probably a better look than dented cones, which Ken has had to 'suck out' with a vacuum a few times from his curious toddler. (or worse)
