  1. We did resort to a electric fence across the upper part of our driveway. She hasn't challenged the fence since her first encounter and we haven't used jucie to the fence all week. Yesterday she found her way into the pasture and ran the fence from inside. Within a short time she managed to find a way out of the fenced pasture back along side of the blacktop road and proceeded to run cars etc. She detests being tied up and we would really like for her to have some freedom as long as she knows her boundaries. We have had a border collie some years ago and never encountered the chase vehicles trick. In so many ways she is learning very fast except this car thing. I think (know) she is smarter than we are and she is challenging our authority on this to the max! I'm no match on catching up to her on her max running speed! Years ago my husband used a heavy duty fish line reel and pole to to reinforce the down command with our border collie while working with sheep until she understood. I might look a little funny down by the road doing this, but maybe this would work. Thanks
  2. We are owners of a 5 month old border collie. She is doing pretty good with our livestock (goats) and she is responding to training with the livestock really good. However,we are having a major problem with her chasing all vehicles by the blacktop in front of our farmstead. She refuses to listen to any command while she is fixed on chasing. Runs away from us when we try to catch her until we press her for the down command. Question? Would it be advisable to use a shock collar to correct this problem? We're afraid she'll get hurt a lot more if she continues to chase cars and trucks. If we use a training collar, what kind is best for these dogs? Anyone who can help-advise us would be appreciated. Thanks
