This is Hank. Hank is a 5 yr old Rhodesian Ridgeback mix that we've had for three years. He's kinda aloof, but very nice to humans. Unlike our past retrievers, but normal for his breed, he doesn't have a lot of desire to please his people. He has always had sporadic wanderings, but they were pretty much limited to our land. Now they are taking him further away, into other peoples yards and out on the road. Thank goodness we live out in the country and have nice neighbors. Yesterday a neighbor two forties over called me at work and said they would bring him home, after he walked right up to them as they were sitting on their back porch.
Due to his latest shenanigans, we are looking to get a wireless fence system. A buried wire system would be difficult (I think?), because we would like to include a bunch of the woods around our house. Google keeps directing me to the Amazon system linked below. While it looks good in theory, the range is lacking. I have also read that metal roofs, like on our house and pole building, can interfere with the system.
What have other people done to contain their hard-headed dogs? We need to get some containment before we end up with neighbor issues or a dog hit on the road. I would like something that would give him a radius of +/- 200 yards from the house to roam in.
