Absolutely, I agree with you. The pinch/prong collars just stuck in my head with a failure to context -_-''''. Every dog I have will always be a house pet (as much as I love the idea of having a little hobby farm in the country, it's never going to happen), and so livestock guardians? Just for the birds. ^_^
Regarding Milk and Honey, I took that site with a grain of salt, but then again, gotta do that with just about everything on the intarwebs these days.
I like to do formal obedience, even if the dogs don't really need it. I took my rescue to puppy school--he was nearing 2 at the time--if only because he needed the assurance that he is not the boss in this house. He may have had complete and total dominion over his foster home, but he doesn't get it here, especially with the current alpha, and the people. My middle lab, though, he's the best behaved of the bunch and didn't go to obedience classes. The oldest, who went through three levels of it, is a raving tearaway.
What kind of fencing do you use? Would you think 6' plank (on one side and along the back) and 5' chain link on the front and other side) to be sufficient?
