Question
I just got a beagle/lab mix puppy 9 weeks old, I have an invisible fence for my other two dogs and I was wondering what age is ok to put him on it as well?

Answer
Hi Lindsey;
I know nothing about those invisable fences, ezxcept they get a slight shock when they go too far.
I would be afraid to even hazard a guess, since that is a baby puppy. I don't know at what age they could safely use that.
You need to ask your veterinian about that, as it might very well do so much more to a puppy, and that could be life threatening.
