Keep Out Zones: A Creative Solution for a Curious Farm Dog

August 21, 2024

SarahAnne, a Wisconsin farmer, knows firsthand the challenges of managing a large, playful farm dog like Lady, her Great Pyrenees. With acres of land to explore and protect, Lady's boundless energy can get her into mischief. One particular obsession, however, was a bit too much for SarahAnne and her family to handle: Lady's love for packages.

“Lady is a big fan of our mail. Too much in fact.”

Recalling the memory, SarahAnne laughs remembering the countless torn and shredded packages that littered their porch. The situation was becoming a nuisance, and SarahAnne knew she needed a solution.

Keep-out Zones: An Quick Fix for Curious Canines

Enter the SpotOn GPS Dog Fence. SarahAnne and her family were in the market for a wireless dog fence, and her research led her to SpotOn. She followed SpotOn on Instagram and when they announced a giveaway, SarahAnne entered without hesitation and lucky enough, she won!

SarahAnne and her family trained Lady to the system so she understood her virtual fence boundaries, and they were loving the customizable approach to containing Lady without restricting her freedom to roam the farm.

What SarahAnne didn’t expect: SpotOn’s Keep-out Zone feature could provide a creative package-protecting solution, giving SarahAnne and her family more peace of mind. She explains:

“SpotOn provided a quick fix by being able to make our porch a No-Go Area while we are out of the house, so our pup won't try to open our packages.”

Flexibility and Convenience

The SpotOn GPS Dog Fence's versatility impressed SarahAnne. "It's so customizable," she says. "But also so nice I can turn it off when we are home so she can hang out with the kids and be ready to greet guests." This flexibility ensured that Lady's freedom wasn't compromised when she was around the family or visitors.

A Happy Ending

With the SpotOn GPS Dog Fence and a little extra ingenuity (her husband and father built a package storage area on the porch), SarahAnne was finally able to enjoy her mail without the worry of Lady's destructive tendencies.

"With these two things combined, I shouldn't need to worry about any opened mail!"
