Q: I have a ten foot high automatic
gate which slides into my garden and I need some sort of protection
around it, as my seven-month-old puppy is going to have an accident
when it opens. Do you have any suggestions?A: Do you mean the puppy is able to escape if others open the gate when you are not home?
If you need to confine the dog more, have you considered installing an electronic fence in your yard? Your dog wears a collar with a receiver, which creates an electric correction similar to a static electricity shock whenever he tries to cross over the barrier created by the electronic fence buried in the yard.
To learn more about electronic fences, please visit Service Magic at http://www.servicemagic.com.

Good luck!
