Howard, what is that, a homing collar on Trent? or an electronic fence?

That is Roxy not Trent!

The collar is part of the electronic containment system to keep the dogs on our property. It works great, they have never gone through it - even when chasing Deer and other small animals. They know the boundries and stop dead before getting "corrected".

Howard,

We have an Invisible Fence system for our Lacey (miniture Schnauzer). Once trained, she has never strayed from our yard even when teenagers tried to tempt her onto the road. The squirrels will sit on the grass just outside the buried wire as they've figured out that Lacey will not come after them in that location.

I'm not quite sure how these animals remember where the wire is, I know I don't. Ours goes into the woods and the dogs will be chasing deer and know exactly where to stop. These containment systems are great, as our dogs are outside whenever they want to be. A regular fence does not work with huskies, as it has to be eight feet tall, with only six of those feet above ground.

Sounds great!
I gotta get that system for my customers so they don't stray too far into competitor's territory, hahaha.

They also make the collars with a garage door type mini remote that lets you trigger it manually. Those would probably be more useful on the customers. You could "activate" them when a customer throws a dryer sheet on the floor, or when they pour half a bottle of detergent into the washers.

Photogs In Da House!!!

Nice work Howard! Show them off and put a price tag like they do at galleries. You never know, could be another revenue stream/profit center.

your pics are so much better than the 'Rhein II'.

outstanding. what are you doing to get the old-timey feel on the NYC photos? is it a camera technique or a photoshop filter?
