Canine Shock Collars.

[Slipper One]

If the dog is on a lead it is under control by you the owner or the handler of the dog.

Why should they be on a lead outside on my own property?

 

[Slipper One]

Then it's not under control is it.

.........and that's why a containment fence is the ideal option for the safety of the dog.

Coyotes are a real pest around here, a few years back a friend had several dogs penned off on several acres.A tree lined creek ran by his place, a natural corridor for wildlife. Several times he’d see a coyote limping back and forth at the edge of the trees, with the rest of the pack hiding and waiting to lure his dogs in, Wiley little critters.

I was talking to the farmer up the road and he was having that issue. The dog would be let out first thing in the morning and there would be a solitary coyote 'encouraging' the dog to follow or chase it, while the rest were nearby waiting.

He persuaded the coyote not to do it anymore.

Lead poisoning is the best remedy

Why don't you have a fence?

Because it would cost a fortune to fence in this place.........it would also be impractical.......and as Idaho mentioned, the snow can drift high enough for them to get over if they wanted to anyway.

It was a very effective persuader.

I find them really skittish when I have my game cam out, but these were within 50 yards of the house in daylight over at the farm.

They don't cause me any problems here, but then I don't have anything of interest them these days.

They are not for me.
There is a dog trainer near me who achieves outstanding results. I watch his work as it is in the open air, and the dogs and owners he works with seem very happy, and the dogs behave beautifully. He advocates the use of prong collars, but I could and would not use something like that.
