Tracking collar recs?
We have a new to us Vizsla that we adopted from a local shelter recently. Theo’s approximately 2.5yo, and has quickly become attached to me. My other V haaaaates him, which we’re currently working on, but otherwise he’s an amazingly sweet dog, gets along great with our lab and our elderly mutt, and is quickly putting on weight (was sooooo skinny when we got him, all ribs/spine/hipbones prominent). We’re working on recall training diligently, but it’s slow going.
My problem- we live in the woods on 40 acres. We are going to have an approx 2 acre fenced “yard” here in the next couple weeks, BUT it’ll be field fence and there’s a chance he might try to clear it. He hasn’t jumped sections of fence he’s come across the couple times he’s ripped the leash out of my hands and gone for a forest run, but that’s no guarantee. There’s also always a chance that my 6yo leaves the front door open. So, for peace of mind, I’d like to have some sort of tracking on him so that we can find him if he does make the leap. There is little cell signal out here, and a fair bit of tree cover that could make things difficult. Is there anything ya’ll think might work out here? Being able to set a boundary with collar correction for crossing it would be a bonus.
