We would like to have a dog fence on the property across the road from our house since it provides much more room for him to roam. Is it possible to train the dog when we have to enter and exit the property everytime? It is impractical to put him in the car and drive him across the road for 2 months. Is there any alternative??? ADMIN - Hi Sharon, I like to do something very different with the dog when I take them across the boundary during training. You take the collar off and drive the dog over the boundary, or if the dog is small even pick them up and carry them over the boundary. That way they don't get confused about why they can cross sometimes and not other times. You can try teaching the dog earlier, but I find that if you do it inside of a month it is often counterproductive, because it takes you longer to teach them the containment basics.
