Dogs chewing through fence

[tynyphil]

Electric fence charger with the wire run at chewing height.

and if the height is a problem......go to premier1supplies.com and get a electric net fence placed right next to the fence on your side.... I have a short 30" one around my garden for squirrels and rabbits. They will probably only have to hit it once to stop. Its not cheap but I guarantee it will be effective.

BS, I would wire it 220v

I just wanted to keep her out of the flower bed, not weld her to the deck.

Hot wire fences are very low voltage but high current that hurts but doesnt kill.

All ya gotta do is let the dog chew through it in whatever spot he wants. Ahead of time make a heavy duty guillotine, place it by said chew hole, tie some link sausages to a rope that triggers the guillotine blade.

Find a couple dumpsters one opposite sides of town, problem solved.

I have a fence charger you can borrow if you want. Plug in a regular outlet.

Pretty sure it's the other way around, higher voltage and low amps.

correct. mine will register 5000 volts but very low amps. It is usally measured in Joules. My really hot one that I use around the goats is 8 joules. A lot of the dog ones you see are 0.5 Joules or less. I've been 'hit' by the 8 joules........whoa......

Yeah I got zapped by what my grandad used to call a weed burner, and it felt like I stuck a fork in an outlet.

For 8 joules @ 5000v

1 second = 1.6 milliamps
2 seconds = .8 milliamps
3 seconds - .53 milliamps
