    those invisible fences are great.
    adjustable voltage..
    once dog is a true believer in the fence,
    everyone is happy..
    there is a myth that invisifence gives dog seizures..
    nonsense..

    but not practical for non home owners.

    does turning tires to black wall out count? How bout added snug top rebel.
    My husky doesn't get enough from me either, he is only happy with other dogs. I can walk him for an hour, he's still full of energy. But if I take him to the dog park, an hour of real dog play and interaction wastes him out for the rest of the day. Kingsley is a dog's dog, he doesn't really care for people if there is another dog around.IMG_1665.jpgIMG_1676.jpg

    Well I'm going to take everyone's advice and work on tiring this dog out everyday. It's to hot throughout the day so the only time I have is early morning before work or late evening when the sun is setting. I dont think the walks and jogs will work when people are lighting off fireworks and blowing shit up still. That's when she really gets antsy and breaks the fence. Last year couple days before the fourth of july she was bleeding from her heel from forcing herself and pushing through the fence just to escape. I always keep her indoors around that time of the holiday and also on new years eve for that reason. I'm going to search Lowes or home depot to repair the fence and look for some aluminum sheet metal and put that on the lower part of the fence to see if it helps. I want to stay away from the electric fence or collar and kennel for now, if anything that will be my last resort.

    From what I've experienced, huskies are very strange animals. They're different to understand well at least mine is and I've had her since she was a puppy. I know for a fact this will be the last husky in my family.

    Here's a photo of her from her walk this morning my girlfriend took her on.

    Buy a shock collar, sit where you can see it and it can't see you , shock it when it tries to escape and then keep repeating .

    Or buy a kennel

    Well she's been fine in the backyard. Gf and I took off for a bit came home, walked the dogs and put them in the backyard again and she's been fine. Literally 15 minutes ago someone launched like a 20 shot mortar and she starts going at the fence trying to get out while the fireworks are going off. I think I really am going to have to buy that shock collar. For now I guess she'll be sleeping inside :/ damn people stop lighting fireworks off and save it for the next 4th july or the new year.
