Dogs running loose

You made a typo.

"Is it legal to strap one [ or two ] on the owner,instead?"

There, I fixed it.

Are you suggesting a strap-on?

YES SIR...!!!!! Strap one onto any part of his body that sticks out, would be fine for me. Should also be made that it zap's the sucker every time anything on his property barks..... The dog barks to get the owners attention, so I think zap'n him would help the process.....

As I indicated earlier, they can learn to get along but in your case it would take a very good neighbor. Mine learn to just lay down and let him maul them, which works as long as I'm there to referee when he gets too rough. The down side is that if another dog, fox, or coyote comes around they won't know to run; I lost most of my flock to a fox one day last year. You might try the "invisible fence" instead.

An actual "invisible fence" wouldn't be practical where we live. For 42 acres it would likely be a tad expensive, huh! That's why I was asking if an E-collar can simulate an "invisible fence" using a function that would automatically activate the E-collar based on distance between transmitter and E-collar. In effect a 24/7 wireless fence. The Lab wouldn't need to learn anything about chickens only about distance boundary, neighbor involvement unnecessary.

Then there is the issue of BARKING! That can piss a lot of people off all at once!

I do not discipline my dogs for barking. Half the reason to have a dog in my opinion is so they will bark when they hear something abnormal. In WA state we have private tidelands and the dogs will Raise Cain if someone is on the beach. Exactly what I want. How they distinuish human footsteps from wave action and all the sea life noise, I do not know, but they do.

^^^ If you aren't home to hear them barking all day long, then how can you justify it? I once rented an upstairs apartment, where the woman downstairs wouldn't allow her new boyfriend to bring his Lab retriever inside. All night, every night that he visited I was kept awake from that poor pup's barking, literally underneath my bedroom window. I don't know how they didn't hear him, except that they tied him out so that he was on the other side of the apartment from where they slept.

Not an issue. My wife is home all day and the dogs are inside with her sleeping towards their prescribed 18 hours a day. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
