Keep out...NO TRESPASSING!

No need to use a chain around the dog's neck for a collar. None.

 

all i have ever seen a chain collar do is take off all the hair around the dogs neck and cause a infection,so i would never use or recomend a chain collar.

 

Female rottie/dane mix with a shepherd mix in the front. Half the house is in a fenced yard. 12 other dogs inside. 1 chow mix in the kitchen and 1 pit in the bedroom the rest are kennelled inside. The roar of commotion coming from the house is enough to deter most. Hell, even our relatives don't want to visit. Excellent neighbors at the top of our long drive. The power people use binoculars to read the meter.
I also don't invite people over, in case they are scoping out the yard with plans to come back when we aren't home.

 

Most people dont know how to use the chain collar in the proper and correct way. Alot of ameture dogmen just throw a chain around the dogs neck and pad lock it as his permanent collar thats not how its supposed to be done. There is the responsible and correct way to do it. Any body that wants to learn the correct way PM me.

 

Right now, fence all the way around with a lock on the gate. And an 80-pound mouthy Dogo male. When Jedi goes back home, I will return to not letting my girl out for more than 5 minutes without supervision. Later on, the back yard is getting privacy fenced and possibly hotwired. Also intend to put a motion sensor on the outside lights. I also make sure my dogs wear ID and are microchipped (and am looking into tattoos) so at least I have that on my side if they get out or someone steals them.

I also try to stay on good terms with my neighbors. I hope they would come over and investigate if something were amiss. I've already had the kid across the street come by to make sure everything was okay when he saw the animal control truck parked out front (not there for us). On the same note, I don't all the way trust some of my neighbors, so I make sure they're aware that if the dogs are outside, I'm right there within earshot.

 

Dobermans, shotgun, attentive neighbors, locks & fencing, fencing, fencing.

As for meat, you can train them to only eat what you put in their bowl.

And as for the bitch in heat thing, that's why I use female Dobermans!



smart person lol

 

Let' see.....my yard:

8 ft privacy fency double boarded (meaning there was already a fence in place with the "ugly" side in towards our yard so we put up a second layer of boards to make it harder to just break & board & be in the yard). There is horese/cattle hot wire running along the bottom & top of the fence. There is also 1 ft deep concrete trenching along the bottom of the fencing to prevent dogs from digging under. The gates on the fence are accessible only form the inside of the yard & contain the heaviest duty padlocks money can buy. We have 4 strategic spotlights for nighttime use. We also have a mouthy Dogo always lookin for fun, parterned by a 110lb Rottweiler, & a 100lb Shar Pei/Cane Corso (although only 2 of those dogs are outside & 1 time & 1 is in the house). Plus, at this point in time, ALL my dogs are inside in kennels at night & if I am gone for long periods of time during the day & there isn't an immediate neighbor to keep an eye on them.

well saiyagin i really dont belive there is a right way to use a chain for a collar it was real big in the 60's and 70's but folks were finding out that the dogs didnt like them they were always rusting on them and it caused the fur to fall out in the shape of chain links or just fall out alltogether around the neck then they would get bad infections,or you would have the dumb asses that was new to the breed and they would put it on so tight that it would grow into the neck.so then everyone switched to nylon and they have been working great ever since.but thats just my reason why i dont like chains around they neck of my dogs i never did use them myself but i seen alot of folks who did including ol floyd.but the way i always looked at it was i would not want to wear a big thick chain with a padlock around my neck so why would i put it on my dog.but if you have found a way to use one efectivley with out any side effects then i guess go ahead and use em.but i never will.
