[QUOTE="L8APEX, post: 16541584, member: 51947"] It's all going to depend on the dogs. Mom had one about 17 years ago with two smaller dogs (two little mutts). If you crank up the range so that the collar would start beeping within 10 ft of the line, and if they keep going they'd get zapped longer, so they learned fairly quick even in a chase if they heard the beep they needed to stop and backup and then they would sit/stand and just bark their heads off. Now my sister had a Chihuahua and it'd just run along and zigzag along the line yelping, and she never learned. If they are smaller and smart enough they work at keeping your dogs in. But before you throw the collars on them go out and test it without it on the dogs first. I had it set too high and you couldn't get off the front step without a zap after I first plugged it in, as I had the knob turned the wrong way, and it was maxed out. Put up the flags so the dogs learn how far they can go, and over the course of a month you can remove them a few at a time till they are all gone. They had a training video and if you followed it and worked with the pups they caught on quicker. But again you'll have to have a dog that can figure it out. I used yard staples instead of burring the line and it made installing very easy, the grass grows over it within a few weeks. The only trouble spot is on the driveway, as you typically use the seam for the sidewalk to get it across the driveway. It's easy for someone trimming along the drive to cut the line there. I had to splice it back together there many times. Sent from my Note9 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
