We installed this to prevent our dogs from jumping over the 4' fence. Will it work if they aren't standing on the ground?

The circuit has to be completed somehow so if they are not standing on the ground then they have to be touching something else that is touching the ground. I just use a piece of metal that has an insulated handle (shovel, rake, big screwdriver) to test the circuit (see if there is a electric spark) as your pets would touch it.

If an animal is not touching the soil when coming in contact with the hot wire, they would not be grounded and would not feel the shock. We would recommend setting up a two-wire system in this case. Our Consumer Relations Team can be reached at 1-855-5-FISHOCK (1-855-534-7462) for more information on this setup.

Not sure what you are asking. We installed ours as a prefence to our wood fence. It works well...dog doesn't get near it. If your dogs jump on fence it should work.

I purchased this gate for two older (over 10 yrs old) pugs (shorter dog). I would say jumpy dogs would not be able to knock it over, but I would bet they'd try to jump over it. It's not very high. It does not attach to the walls.

Yes, I believe it will work. It is a little flimsy and my dog is too scared to use it.

It might. It did not stop my dig from jumping the fence. But it did keep my cousins dog from wondering too far off on the beach.

I can't imagine why they wouldn't. Just don't rely on the "guard" that's supposed to keep you from cutting too far up. I don't, even for my bigger dogs.

We don't have a fence, so I can't answer that. It has stopped our dog from running over to the next door neighbors house.

Yes. We bought ours in hopes of stoping our dog from jumping fences and it doesn't work at all!! The clip that sits on the dogs back is a synch clip that can't be locked in place so it only tightens when pulled on by a leash. When not tight the dog just walks it off as it loosens. Not a good product!!

I don't have the in-ground fence unit. So I am unable to answer your question. Sorry.

This Pawz Away is specifically designed for that. I have two that are each in places I want to keep my dog out and they work. Note that the barrier area is not as wide as they demonstrate.

As long as they are bigger than the openings in the wire, they should be secure. My little dog doesn't jump over, and my friend's cats don't either.

It would work fine if the dog is going to stay put. But if the dog is leaping about, the claws might rupture the membrane. It's designed to be walked on, then the dog lays down and goes to sleep. Four paws with claws leaping about would probably cause an early failure

The head of the fan can be aimed downward and the fan is also adjustable in height so I would say if the wind wasn't blowing upward it would work for animals on the ground. Good luck.

I have a Doberman who expects to ride shotgun wither or not my wife is in that seat. It slowed her down a bit but she worked it out and essentualy wrecked the fence. I think it could work if they (or your) came up with a better idea of how to secure the four corners. I would buy this one. There must be a better one out there.

Yes it will work. But, I found out some of my cats can go thru. and others can jump it. Dogs respect it.

Hello Scott, Sorry for the delay in responding. This has worked extremely well for me. You will need to purchase an additional hoop to extend below the existing two that come provided, otherwise, your dogs will be able to nose under the barrier. If your dogs are easily excitable and desperately try to get to one another (as in fighting), I can't say that they wouldn't be able to. Good luck!

I've used it on my dog as she was chasing a four-wheeler (her 'chase' trigger). I waited until she was just near the road and then I gave her a shock at the '3' out of '100' level, and she immediately turned around. So if you are able to always be observant and can time it right it can in a way be an effective fence.

This poultry netting is not super strong. If your dog understands boundaries and will not test them, it might work. I would suspect it would just lift up the netting between the poles with its nose and get out. You would probably do better with weld wire fencing.
