He has obviously had some bad experiences in his past.<br /><br />I do know that I can go outside when he is barking or to put wood on the fire with a flashlight and he doesn't run and hide now. That was a major step of trust for him.<br />PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-47613240800180235382013-11-07T11:15:41.196-05:002013-11-07T11:15:41.196-05:00RP - Ya I tried to place the bottom strand high en...RP - Ya I tried to place the bottom strand high enough to keep him from doing that. He isn't an especially large dog really. Definitely some lab in him but he comes in at a small female lab size.

My son had been playing with him and the wife had been feeding him when I wasn't looking. You could tell he was very wary of full grown males and I am sure he had cause. For the first year or so if I had any kind of stick, gun, rake, shovel etc in my hand or went outside at night with a flashlight he would disappear for a dayPioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-13085788235378881352013-11-07T10:59:11.349-05:002013-11-07T10:59:11.349-05:00kymber dear Miles is at least a pretty good watch ...kymber dear Miles is at least a pretty good watch dog.

Goats were another story, one of the dumbest animals on earth, would get shocked over and over and escape through the fence eventually after being zapped constantly. They never figured it out so I guess electric only works on smart animals.
