I am thinking about the getting ElectroStop Fencing, but after reading the information
it says it works well for trained sheep. Question how do you train the sheep?
Thanks Bill

Sheep that are trained to electric are easier to fence than untrained because they (the sheep) have learned that this electrical barrier is causes pain thus do not challenge fences. One of the most effective train methods is to install the temporary fence inside (1') of a current physical barrier lot or corral fence that the sheep are familiar and contained with. The temporary fence, that must be properly electrified, then will become a pain barrier inside the fence that the sheep do not challenge thus moving away from the physical and electrical system and not trying to bolt threw the fences. The training time may be as short as 2-4 hours or up to 3-5 days.

Thanks
Scott
