It is wise to be leery of neighboring kids.
Friends of mine had a bee-yoo-tiful dog named Max. Only too late did they learn about neighborhood kids coming up to the house to torture him while they were out.
They’d grab hold of him, sometimes on motorbikes/4-wheelers, and yank him into the shock zone of his collar (invisible fence).
Eventually he became inured to the shocks and couldn’t be trusted to stay home. He also might take pre-emptive nips at unsuspecting targets who - I dunno, I guess they reminded him of the people who hurt him. Never broke the skin, but put his owners in danger of lawsuit on several occasions.
Poor guy spent the rest of his life in his pen or on a lunge line. I loved gentleman Max, would have loved to’ve gotten my hands on those kids and their parents.
He was a collie.
Yes, that kind of thuggery deserves some sweet justice, like placing those shock collars on the kids and tossing them outside the invisible fence perimeter for awhile. See how they like it (without fur).
