AS HIS/HER BREEDER, I HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE DOGS AND I CAN TELL YOU UNEQUIVOCALLY THAT A COLLIE (ANY DOG ACTUALLY) CANNOT BE LEFT OUT ON A CHAIN.  THIS IS ONE OF THE ABSOLUTE WORST SCENARIOS YOU CAN SUBJECT YOUR DOG TO.  NOTHING ELSE MAKES SUCH A HORRIBLE WAY FOR A DOG TO LOSE HIS HEART AND HIS SPIRIT.  A COLLIE IS A SENSITIVE ANIMAL AND WILL LOSE HIS PERSONALITY.  INVEST IN A FENCE, A KENNEL OR A RADIO TYPE CONTAINMENT SYSTEM SUCH AS “INVISIBLE FENCE®”.

    IN ADDITION TO OUR KENNELS, WE HAVE OUR COLLIES TRAINED ON AN “INVISIBLE FENCE®” AND IT IS WONDERFUL.  YOU HAVE TO WATCH VISITORS COMING UP THE DRIVEWAYS WITH CARS IF YOUR FENCE IS SURROUNDING YOUR DRIVEWAY, BUT I CAN TELL YOU “THE INVISIBLE FENCE® IS AN OPTION TO PHYSICAL FENCING”.  THE DOGS ARE NOT HARD TO TRAIN ON IT, ALTHOUGH COLLIES (or any herding breed) CAN BE A LITTLE MORE OF A CHALLENGE BECAUSE OF THEIR DESIRE TO CHASE (herd) THINGS. BUT BELIEVE ME, TRAINING ON AN “INVISIBLE FENCE®” IS POSSIBLE.  YOU CAN PURCHASE A RADIO STYLE CONTAINMENT SYSTEM AND INSTALL IT YOURSELF (THROUGH PET CATALOGS, INTERNET, AND LOCAL PET SUPPLY OUTLETS). OR YOU CAN HAVE A PROFESSIONAL COMPANY SUCH AS “PUPCO INVISIBLE FENCES®” LOCATED IN THE PITTSBURGH AREA COME IN AND DO THE WHOLE THING FOR YOU.  TRAINING IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF ANY RADIO TYPE CONTAINMENT SYSTEM, WITHOUT IT, YOUR “INVISIBLE FENCE®” IS JUST AN EXPENSIVE WIRE IN THE GROUND.

     IF YOU WANT A KENNEL AND/OR FENCING, CALL ME AND I’LL HELP YOU TRACK DOWN SOURCES.  I HAD MY “INVISIBLE FENCE®” INSTALLED BY “PUPCO®” LOCATED IN BRIDGEVILLE, PA. THEIR PHONE NUMBER IS 412-344-BARK (2275).
