Edd_Wiltshire 9 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Not that much of a worry where i am, i am more concerned about old fence posts and barbed wire on my permission. I guess the dogs will see it and jump it, hopefully! Quote Link to post

jamiew 11 Posted October 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 what is the main problem your worried about with the fence , rabbit getting through it dog not, all the burrows are one the other side of the fence, Quote Link to post
CorkyJohn 808 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Electric fencing isn't a problem, might give the dog a jolt but at least it won't give you a vets bill like barbed wire can do Quote Link to post
Malt 379 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 One belt off it, & the dog will soon learn to avoid it! Quote Link to post

As you say not as bad as[ b w], but[ both] can+will feck your dog in the long term.?? Quote Link to post
UNFIT 0 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) you got permission ,then just turn it of when you enter and dont forget to turn it back on when you leave , then you got no problem .its not rocket science . and take your dog in there in the day light so he knows its there .

dogsocks1 1 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 be careful mate a dog hitting wire that thin at speed could slice your dog up pretty badly Quote Link to post
Malt 379 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 be careful mate a dog hitting wire that thin at speed could slice your dog up pretty badly Can't see that myself. It's only like bailer twine not razor wire! Quote Link to post
Leeview 787 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 be careful mate a dog hitting wire that thin at speed could slice your dog up pretty badly Can't see that myself. It's only like bailer twine not razor wire! How does bailer twine carry an electric current? Ours is probably as thick as 4z nylon line with a strand of wire twisted through it to carry the current and would be very unforgiving to anything hitting it at speed the other type is same make up but forms a mesh 4"-6" square foxes, hares and rabbits soon learn to steer clear of these when put up and switched jamiew as has been mentioned it would be a good idea to disconnect one of the clips prior to lamping but be sure to reconnect it when you've finished Y.I.S Leeview Quote Link to post
