training to avoid barb wire fences

[sdiguana 1]

Not sure if this applies in the UK, but i'll ask anyway.

 

In the US barb wire fences are standard for any field, and i'm curious as to how you train a dog to see and avoid them so as to not plow into one and get torn up, or worse run into a steel T-post and put themselves to an end. Especially when out lamping..?

Just train them as pups to jump and they should jump them when coursing . Horrible stuff though and one of the biggest cause of injuries to a working dog over here

Will get him going along fences right quick then. Poor guy has many obstacles to learn... deep forest, blackberry thickets and now barb wire fences.

alot of the farmers over here use electric fences and once the pup gets 1 or 2 shocks they soon figure out to stay away from all wire,and as all ready been said train the dog to jump should have no problem clearing them/
