It has not escaped our attention, there is a company offering a puppy on their electronic dog fence set as early as 8-12 weeks of age.
NOT RECOMMENDED!
Your puppy could be irreparably damaged by this operation. Studies have shown that all puppies go through a "fear imprint" stage 6-16 weeks of age. Anything that can affect them psychologically, during this period can and mark them for life. Do not take my word for it, ask your veterinarian or a dogDog trainer or behaviorist, and see what they say.
What could be just some of the changes in the short and long-term psychological one of these puppies are?
A dog may be more timid, shy and reserved. Often this can also increase anxiety about the attack or defensive bite.
Your puppy may be confused about the boundaries and start going to the bathroom in the house.
Or it may mean that your dog can become aggressive.
Do you really think that a puppy is mentallyready to learn at this age? Watch your puppy. The attention span is very short and sporadic.
Just because someone is like a dog fence company does not mean you know anything about your dog's behavior or well-being. There is actually a bad reputation with others in the industry, and professional dog trainers have. Professional real dog wants the best for your pets and dogs in general. It is not just a question of money. Customers, it would make a dog knowsnothing of the dog's behavior. And 'cruel. And 'barbarian. It's wrong.
If you decide to invest your life with a company electronic dog fence ... Great! Electronic dog fencing is one of the best things you can do for most dogs. Just make sure it is done right. Do not put the old dog on an electronic fence system of the first 16 weeks. Wait until a puppy 16 weeks of age is a minor inconvenience, if at all. Also ask your vet, dog behaviorist or dogTrainer.
