Horsley Wholesale & Joinery

I bought an electric fence system to keep my cows away from my very old fence. Megan was very helpful and really took the time to take me through everything i would need & even talked me out of the things i didn't need!! Was also nice dealing with a fellow lady who really knew what she was talking about!! I would recommend their service to anybody!

We have dogs; two very large dogs to be precise. One dog is good about going to the toilet in the garden, but the other goes all over the lawn. We'd like to train him to go in the garden and ideally one spot. So a while ago I rigged up a small string fence, to direct him to the area I was him to use. However he just ignored this and jumped (maybe even just stepped) over the string. So I decided to get an electric fence and try this instead. Before people label me cruel (as my wife did), I figured I'd only need to leave it on for a few days and then he'd learn.



When you live in suburban Melbourne, buying an electric fence is not easy, so I looked on the internet and found Horsely Joinery, who sold online. I wrote to them about what I was doing and they suggested a Thunderbird mains powered electric fence energizer, wire and some insulated fence post brackets. The smallest size they had was designed to power 5km of fencing, which would do my small back yard fine:)



I paid and received the goods a couple of days later, and rigged up the fence.

A Happy ending? No. The next day the dog started going to the toilet on our porch instead! Back to the drawing board.
