I have 2 dogs, a Welse Corgi and an Austrailian Shepherd. the Corgi is about 5 years old, the Aussie going on 1 1/2.

We have 5 acres, mostly wooded, everyone around here has the same. They both bark at anything/anyone strange, and we've lived here for about 4 months. The Aussie has always had the herding instincts to nip and herd and she's a high strung dog.

Anyway, yesterday I talked with my neighbor who walks every morning at 7 am. The past 3 mornings that Aussie took to the road after him, and attempted to slip in from the rear and bite him. He said he's worked postal routes and knows a dog trying to bite - this dog tried to. She's never shown THAT much agressiong towards anyone. Last night I tied her up - didn't release her until after the guys morning walk.

During the day - no problems because my kids are around the house, my wife etc etc. They stay close. Late nights and mornings, we're thinking she gets bored and has figured out that chasing people on the road is a fun thing to do [:@]Kendall said he fired a shot over her head - and would have killed her if he hadn't known me and was giving her a last chance. I agreed with him - I will NOT have a biting dog.

So anyway - would a fence like this keep her off the road ? Say I fenced it so theres a barrier of 50 yards off the road where she can approach to there and no further ? Would she learn to never go through that barrier ? Are the shocks that strong as to keep them from doing that ?

She is very intelligent, and remembers commands. She's very teachable. I'm trying to find ways to keep from me having to kill her - which I will do if she ever bites
