Running along the bottom of my wood slat fence should keep my 2 medium dogs from digging out?

Maybe, the energizer is not very powerful, check my web site at electric-fence and view garden kits, These energizers are more powerful and better suited for controlling dogs

I'm no electrician, but doubt this would work - the wire needs to be suspended by insulators, which is accomplished by the plastic poles in the kit. If you ran the wire along the bottom of a fence, it would likely contact the ground and complete the electrical arc by that means, rather than through the dog. I suppose it's possible that the wood could act as an insulator without grounding out, but you would have to install it carefully - and any time the wood became wet, it would not act as an insulator. Why can't you instead run the wire on the poles a couple of inches inside the fence, 6" up from the ground? I would think that would work fine. The shock amount is certainly enought to discourage a medium dog.

Yes, this kit can be used to keep the dogs from digging under the fence. The poles included will need to be placed in front of the current fence or plastic insulators may need to be purchased to keep the hot wire from touching the wooden fence.

Yes, you could easily buy a thin piece of plywood to block off the run below and the opening on the side of the house. We locked our off while our quail were too small to have free access to the entire run.

While it would be possible to use a cable lock and secure the top portion to a fence as you would a bike, the bottom has no window or vent through which to do this. I am not sure what someone might do with just the bottom, so that might be enough of a deterent. I will say that the dogs like the house!

Not sure, sorry. My kennel is on dirt and then I placed small rocks first and then placed three deck sections on top for dogs to walk around on and lounge on. Rocks keep the decking stable. Trained dogs to do business on rock only.

There is fencing. Your gecko may get out through the holes. There is no bottom.

My digs do not jump at/on this gate. I don't see how this would tip over or move. The legs hold it sturdy. The dogs are Bassett Hounds (2).

It depends on how far you are going to spread the ends apart. The closer the ends the smaller the holes. Mine went under the fence as it is several inches off the ground/floor. It is very flimsy and they chewed several of the bottom sections already so I sit something in front of that section. I would not buy it again.

I think it would work fine. This is a very sturdy fence, especially for two small dogs.

Sorry, there's a couple of conflicting answers here, how much gap is there between the bottom and the ground? I want to find a way to secure it to the ground so it doesn't walk off like my last one. I was thinking of getting one of those cork screw things they use for dog chain and attaching it with a chain. Not 100% foolproof but hopefully enough of a deterrent. Just need to know if there's enough room under this to do that.

yes it will keep the dogs contained, as for the measurements, look at what it says on the order and measure your doorway.

No; I have used High Tech pet fence both buried and at the surface of my yard. Works both ways :) Just be sure to secure the wire if you do not bury it. Lawn mowers and kids are good at picking up the wire if it is not buried.

That's kind of the idea of it - to keep dogs out of a circular area around the rock. It's won't work as a fence to keep dogs IN that circle, only out of it. How well it works as a fence to keep your dog out of the circle depends on your dog, whether he or she is already trained with an electric collar, and how much he or she cares about the beeps & small shocks. It won't work as well as a real solid fence, but my dog (who was already trained to our underground fence) gives the rock a wide berth, even if her toys get close to it. She'll wait as I go inside the circle and get the toys for her, because she does not like the shock and she knows how to avoid getting it.

no rule about it, just deep enough to keep it from getting damaged or in your way. I have left mine on top of the ground for several months (because it is only a temporary fix for me) and have had no problems from it. I have also wrapped wire around a low strand of barbed wire (because I already had barbed wire fence for horses) in the past and it did fine that way to keep my dogs in for over a year (at which time I moved from that property, it may still be there). Just make sure you get a heavy enough guage of wire for whatever purpose you have in mind!

The bottom of the composter is open, so there is nothing to stop animals entering it from below. Up to now I did not have that problem, because there is nothing of interest for rats in the compost.

It should be fine they should not get close enough to dig however I have a friend who owns huskys and he said they would dig up wire and chew it up :) I would try it like you'd planned

If you want to keep them from moving, you can run a bead of spray foam around the baseline I did. I also placed insulation around it to prevent me jostling it out of place. I like to keep the top easily accessible so it can be found later.

It should be fine. I've sprayed the enclosed part of my yard where the dogs run. They aren't out there all the time but I'd let it dry really good or let a rain come before I put them out there.
