Doesn't look like they need to tie him up, I think he'll stick to the little boy like glue.

Those are awesome pictures. Looks like Cowboy has his head down like he's in trouble.

It may be because of the rope - he's feeling a little guilty, lol. But, he's so very submissive to 'little' things that might be part of it too.Looks like Cowboy has his head down like he's in trouble.

And, Cowboy has the best Christmas present EVER! A brand new electric fence charger thingy.... I've hesitated because of the kiddos next door - they love to go visit the animals and little T (Cowboy's new kid) is a climber. I seriously do NOT want him to get bitten by the fence!

He won't get bitten more than once. Best explain it to him well first. Not sure how he can really understand it though, other than "it will make a big owie if you touch it". Might have to learn just how big all by himself.

Our kids have all seen one of the animals or a dog get shocked and know to respect the fence. In fact, they are a little terrified of it and keep their distance!
I thought that was all part of the fun of farm living... watching unsuspecting kids and animals get zapped... I mean isn't that how most kids learn? You tell 'em and tell 'em... then they go right ahead and do it anyway? Animals you can't tell 'em and they generally learn the hard way. In both cases, they generally learn pretty quick when they do so. Cowboy just has the inclination to protect any "little" thing, animal or child I guess. Still a great dog

I love Cowboy! My dogs love the grand daughters and stick to them like glue. Cowboy knows where to find "kids!" LOL LOL

Our livestock and dogs probably have better memories than me since I'm pretty sure only a few of them had to get a single shock to be more careful whereas I've lost track of how many times I've gotten zapped.
