Last summer, when we took the dogs to France for the first time, we put up a quick and dirty fence to keep them in. It was a temporary job only, and in any case wasn’t sturdy enough to keep Taji in; if he ran straight at it he could probably send it crashing down.
When I was down last spring I talked to our builders and arranged for them to put a fence in. It wasn’t up when we arrived yesterday, but a couple of guys turned up this morning and the fence is now up.
We let the dogs loose, and they ran around like crazed things. Soon enough Taji came bounding towards the fence - and crashed straight into it. He’d clearly seen the posts, but not the netting. Epic fail - or, from our point of view, epic win, given that the fence didn’t budge, and he now doesn’t want to go anywhere near it, looking at it with distrust.
