Hi everyone, OZZY is now 6.5 months and loves the fact that the snow has just all melted, lol. My nearest neighbor is appx 3 acres away, and have all woods around the house. They own a farm and have cows, pigs, and goats and sheep. he has amazing hearing and yesterday was just standing and looking in their direction while listening to the goats. My question is I do not wnt to put up any kind of fence in the yard and am leaning towards a fence called pet safe with a 180 ft range. What are your thoughts on this and do you recommend any particular electronic fence. I live in Maine, and have to say that the thought of me shocking my pup is not something I really would enjoy. thanks for your thoughts, Mike
