Secret Passage

In September of last year, on the initiative of Alfredo, we ended up installing Invisible Fence around the house.  It is a system that involves some underground wiring and shock collars worn by the pups. At first, we had an idea of a standard fence running around the house but this was more cost effective and in the end much prettier.  Along with the installing we had two 1-on-1 dog training sessions.  Dogs were taught to obey the beeping noise and to relate it to the boundary.  Beeping comes before shocking.  There are always side effects, as Blue was afraid to step outside of the house for couple of days and Indy would pee as soon as he would hear the beep. Eventually, both of them learned to utilize the vast area they still had available and that is where the issue comes.  Indy found the 3 foot passage that runs along side the house that can take him straight to the front of the garage.  As the house has the easement while installing the wire they gave couple of extra feet into it.  Now, since Indy has discovered it, it present a serious problem.  Both Indy and Blue have gone over the lines while chasing each other or armadillos that the shock was almost non existent.  Luckily, they are not aware that simply by rushing over the line can get them outside the box, but the threat can still impose itself if for some reason there was a person walking their dog on the other side of the street and Indy was sprinting to greet them and he then disregard the beep and run out on the street.  That is my main concern.  Even though the street has a low volume traffic since we are in a gated community and accidents do happen.
