training a dog to stay within boundary

Ding Dong · 2011-01-24 16:50:51

We’re looking at getting a puppy. We would like to have it ‘trained’ so it stays largely with the property and not one of those dogs that you have to have an eye on the front door or gate in case someone leaves it open and it does a beeline straight out like an eejit. Parents had a dog for 17 years that couldn’t be left…

Parents had a dog for 17 years that couldn’t be left with the front door open, dunno how they managed it.) We cant afford one of those electric collars that slightly shocks the dog when it goes near the edge of the boundary either, so basically how do you ‘train’ a dog to stay pretty much within the boundary without closed gates and shock collars?
