I knew it'd be a challenge on several levels adopting a dog at the start of winter. It's nearly impossible to train Patton on my Hidden Fence since the flags are white (same as the snow) and there are NO physical landmarks he can see to help him identify where the line is. Especially since my Hidden Fence lines my flower beds in my front and back yards so I'm forced to put him out on a cable to keep him tethered to the home without a shock collar. I don't like it but it's only for a few months more. Short term pain, long term gain. Patton's a quick study, he doesn't enter the kitchen whatsoever after only 1-2 zaps from my interior wireless system. He knows EXACTLY what the beeping and vibrating box under his neck means. It's just a matter of teaching his brain the same thing outdoors and an acre is time consuming without a foot of snow. With the warm weather as of late I'm going to at least get the flags put out on the line today and as long as we don't get any snowfall to disguise the flags can start on that process now. Under ideal circumstances it takes about 2 weeks of twice daily training on the entire system, the sooner I can get it done the much easier it'll be on me, that's for sure! Here's what's all involved:

Here's a few more photos. Rommel doesn't care to be told to sit and pose, you can tell because his ears aren't erect...he's protesting. Patton is excited as usual! They're a great pair together and I just love having another Dobe!

Do you know if his previous family kept him outdoors for the most part? Plus, do you know what the story was behind the horse collar???Such handsome boys. Patton's chest really looks much better than when I last saw him. The hair is growing back nicely.

He's SOOO funny, he chases laser lights and my work flashlight like a nutcase! I'll get a video of that up soon too. Thanks for such a great dog...he's working out just great!!

So glad to hear that Patton has worked out so well for you, sounds like you made the right choice to bring him home when you did, I know you were kind of hesistant to get another dog with the winter season and not being able to train him right away with the hidden fence. Can't wait to see the video of Patton chasing the laser light. Patton was quite the character at SCD, he use keep Arda on her toes barking at her when he knew she was getting his food ready. Give the big ole boy a hug from us.
Well, since the weather's broken I flagged my yard at the border of the hidden fence. As goofy as Patton seems at times he surely knows what those flags mean, what the warnings mean and where NOT to go! It only took 2-3 days tops to get him to understand it's in his best interest not to breach the flags. After 5 days of training I took the leap and let him go and we played ball in my unfenced yard!! He was doing SOOO well until another dog from 2 houses down came to investigate which took his mind off the flags and he sneaked past the line and off he went. Thankfully I tired him out enough he didn't have much run in him and I was able to chase him back into my yard. Did some more re-training and was outside throwing the ball for him to fetch with no problem .
What a great feeling it is to get him outdoors for exercise. I felt guilty the past few months keeping him inside the house and tethered to an outdoor cable to go potty.....NO MORE!
I'm eager to get some videos posted so everyone can see just how happy his now in he is new home.
.....He can't sleep unless he's up by me in bed and usually under the covers!! Yea, I spoil my dogs.
