I recently got a new yellow lab puppy. Well he and my fiance's black lab have taken a liking to my wires on my boat trailer and my covered trailer in the backyard. My back yard is already fenced in, I am just looking for an good electric fence to keep dogs from the corner of my yard where my trailers are. Anyone have any recommendations on a brand to use? I only need around 100' of underground wire.

I have been looking on Amazon and I don't want to waste my money on a system that will break in the future. So any advice is appreciated. TIA

Forget about the underground wire... Its a pain in the arse. I have the box that sends the signal out however far you need it. Works great.

My lab chewed my trailer wires twice... the second time, I beat him him with a trailer wire until he had no desire to ever look at a wire again. Then poured cayenne all over the wires and put them in his mouth.

This is kind of cruel but I have heard of plugging in extension cords and letting them chew on it until they get smoked to teach them as well.

No more trailer wire problems for me.

I use the pet safe brand outdoor barrier for my flower beds and my dog hasn't touched them. It looks like a rock and runs on batteries. Easy setup and you can use a wire with it or just set it up as a barrier itself.

Thanks for the advice, I'm definitely thinking about going with a double loop system because I know how stubborn these dogs can be.
