KING OLLIE HOUSE of BULLDOG
Well-known member
We have a 3/4 acre property on the Gulf Coast of Florida. We have a lot of grass. Our lot backs up to a pond. The pond backs up to acres of State of Florida Conservation land. We see feral pigs, deer, coyotes, bob cats, raccoons, otters, armadillos, opossums snakes, both water and land varieties and have the occasional alligator. This is called the nature Coast. We have motion spotlights to keep the pigs out of the yard. They go off when a possum or armadillo waddles through.
We have triple sliders off our great room that leads to a large lanai/caged pool. The dogs have to be let out a slider and then they have a doggie door in the lanai. We have an underground electric fence that goes around the perimeter of the entire property. Our three older dogs seldom wear their fence collars. They know exactly what their boundaries are. We also have a disk on the floor that works like the fence. It prevents the dogs from going up the stairs or running to the front door to bark at or jump on people. They are basically confined to the lower floor of the house. They are supervised at all times.
Yesterday the fence guy came over to bring Daphne's electric collar and do her first training. He put flags around the fence line. She gets a beep/warning as she approaches the "hot zone." Then he says NO and pulls her back. After one perimeter go around, Daphne knew exactly what is going on. She's the smartest pup I've ever had (sorry Razz Ma Tazz, but it's true).
I'll do one more quick training today and then tomorrow, I'll remove every other flag and then so on until all flags are gone.
Just wanted to share what we do and how we do it. This Bully Girl is one incredible dog. I would have never guessed they were so smart. I put up a couple of photos you can see what I mean about the pond and the pool. I didn't know about the bull dog No Swim Policy before I got Daphne. I will be super vigilant.
