Interloper update... now with photos
Many questions about the property line on yesterday's post. Photo on top left shows the fence. Bottom left shows the walking bridge that free range German Shepard, and his owner, take to circumvent my fence. They enter through a neighbors property. Photo on right shows the small opening in fence. In this case, my dog is on duty.
SOME of you suggested that training my dog not to protect her property should be my main focus. As I said, we tried with professionals. We were told she is always going to be protective due to the mistreatment of her former owner. There is a short film strip attached of where they found her and when we brought her home. She didn't even bark the first month. She is making up for it now.
