I did the elect. fence also, I just set mine up on a temporary basis. Once Abby (1/2 lab) figured out that was not the place to take a dip. Yep, zapped only twice and I left it up a week or so to remind her. Now she stays out of our pond. It is so aggravating to have to up-right your plants & replace rocks. The elect. fence will not hurt her, just teach her. Good Luck!
