It is a lot cheaper than āSpotā, the Boston Dynamics dog (price tag $74,500) and more helpful to orchardists, too.
Thereās not a dog shortageā¦but there are leash requirements in most all citiesā¦
Crows are smart. Maybe they could be trained to harass all the other theiving wildlife.

A dog is great I have a couple most of the time. Adopting a rescue helps you and them both.

We rescued a Plott hound mix here a few months ago. He was 8 months old when we got him, but has taken pretty well to training on basic stuff so far. I would love to train him chase rabbits and deer off the property, just not sure how to keep him from continuing chase way past the boundary line. Iām near woods, but those woods are surrounded by houses and thereās two busy roads nearby. Wouldnāt want him to get hit or picked up by animal control.

I have the same problem ā¦ we have a Boxer mix who ran right into the busy street by our house and nearly got hit, so she is not allowed yard privileges any more. We are thinking about getting an invisible fence but not sure that would work if she was on the trail of a deer.
Our previous dogs were better about staying out of the traffic and they did a great job chasing the deer away.
My Labrador mix is bad to runaway so I have an acre fenced 2 dogs run around on and patrol. They have never got a rabbit but they stay in pursuit. My old dog ate rabbits , voles, rats , miles, birds or anything else in that 1 acre pen. Itās large enough they donāt know they are in a pen.
