You see them hanging on Stop Signs, Telephone Poles, Trees, Stakes in the ground, etc. "Lost Dog" or "Found Dog" in every subdivision and neighborhood. Some dogs just love to "run off". They usually come back home eventually or some good neighbor finds them and calls the number on their tags or the sign.
But ... What if? We never want to think about that. Someone may just decide to keep that $1,000 Yorkie or that prized hunting dog. Then what? Of course, if you live in an urban area, the saddest result of all can be finding your wonderful, wandering pet lying on the side of the road ... victim to a speeding automobile.
We bought the most beautiful Dalmatian for my son when he was three years old and it was great except, it did not and we seemingly could not train it to just be outside the back yard fence one minute and it was on a race through the neighborhood. We knew nothing of GPS systems for dogs in those days or underground fences. Dorothy, or "Dot" as we called her was one of the most beautifully marked Dalmatians I have ever seen. She was a great family pet, but when my son was nine, we moved to a small town where we had a huge cyclone fenced back yard where Dot could run and play to her hearts content, but one day my niece failed to shut the gate behind her and Dot was out in a flash to dash across the street to a dog in the fence across the street.
Of course, she never saw the speeding car coming around the corner and we heard the impact and screeching tires and ran out to find our poor Dot lying in the road with her back leg severely mangled. After several thousand dollars at the vet, her rear leg was amputated and we brought her home from the doggie hospital severely emaciated.
She recovered and adapted to walking and running pretty well on three legs, but she absolutely refused to ever leave the fence again unless she was in our arms. You could actually leave the gate open and she would just stand there and tremble, but she would not go outside that gate even if you were standing there and calling her.
How I wish I had known about electric fences in those days! Or the earlier times when she got out and we searched two days before a neighbor found her. Certainly a GPS pet locater would have made a difference. There are even training collars and systems that can be purchased today to easily and safely train your pet to stay within boundaries.
There is really no excuse for these things today because there are many high-tech dog training devices and GPS Pet locater's that will prevent all of those horror stories. PetSafe, one of the most trusted names in animal care has just released a new PetSafe GPS Pet Locater that is finally an affordable GPS system anyone can afford. You can find them now in most pet stores, but PetSafe has a required price so you won't find them any cheaper by shopping around.
In fact, we have them on our NiceDogShop website now with FREE SHIPPING UPS Ground in the continental US, so you simplest thing would be to just go to our website and order it and save the taxes if you live outside of Florida where they ship from and again there is no shipping charges either. Married with two children age 22 and 13 and two beautiful pets, I have been a pastor for over 30 years. Since 2005, I have been working online to develop a secondary income due to the onset of a progressive disability that at this time has rendered me unable to stand or walk on my own and forced me to resign my life-long profession. I have been blessed to find a way to secure my family's financial future and hope that you purchase with confidence on any of my Sites. It is my desire to provide you excellent products at affordable prices - http://nicedogshop.com |
