I have a dog. A terrific, kind well mannered, black lab german shorthair named Rosco. He has only one real character flaw.
Ok now that I've got your attention...
His only real character flaw is that he hates cats. I mean really hates, Grrrr murder death kill hates cats.
My wife has cats. 3 of them. Oreo, the black and white neurotic. Caramel, the yellow and white, big mouthy opinionated attitude. and Cloe the grey, tan and bits of white sweety, thats also a bully.
Ok so in our old house, we had a strict segregation policy. Rosco was outside, had his own side yard area, and didn't go into the house. Cats had the inside and the back yard, and a big tall fence separated the dog area from cat territiory.
Now we're moving, bigger house, much bigger yard. fencing off the side section for Rosco, won't happen anytime soon. So I'm suggesting giving Rosco the back yard. and the cats the house and front yard area. there is a wall separating the two..
the cats know Rosco is dangerous..
But what I'm afraid of is the cats exploring all over and getting into the back, and if Rosco sees one, he's quick and he's lethal.. and the consequenses would be VERY bad.
So. I'm hoping technology can help this situation out... Is there a product on the market, that I can use as a deterrant for Rosco to the cats. What I have in mind is a sort of RF transmitter, like an radio fence. get too close and it zaps you. Rosco would have a collar with a little zapper, and the cats would have a signal collar, so that if either got too close, say within 15 feet, he gets a little jolt. and maybe even the cat did too. that way they learn, mutual avoidance..
Anything like that out there? i know they have RF controlled animal doors. the cat or dog has a little RFID tag on the collar, and when it gets close to the door, the door unlocks.. simple stuff.
thanks for any help.
