My dad had to train him on an invisible fence sine their yard is not fenced in. When i return I will have about 2 months until I move up north where I will have to give the dog back to my parents for about a year. Will my parents have to retrain the dog? Those are smart creatures and I assumed he would learn very quickly his boundaries around the yard if he was only taken away for 2 months.... ADMIN - Hi Ernest, The is unlikely to need retraining. They should get right back in the routine. We have clients that have fences in both their summer home and regular home and the dogs go between them without missing a beat. If you are concerned, you could put the flags back out for a few days when he returns, but I don't think it will be necessary.
