Is invisible or electronic fencing adequate containment for a Tibetan Mastiff?
It is the opinion of the Tibetan Mastiff Breeders Response Network that invisible/underground/electric/radio fencing ON ITS OWN is NOT a proper containment solution for the Tibetan Mastiff breed. There are many reasons why this type of fencing poses specific problems for this Breed. A short list of concerns are: Many Tibetan Mastiffs can blow through the shock if the incentive is strong enough. Yet will not risk another shock to come back in, leaving the dog trapped out of it’s own yard. It does not hinder other animals, children and people from walking into your yard. This is not wise with a guardian breed such as this. There is no way to know whether or not the shocks delivered will escalate aggression.
