I am quite fortunate that I have a couple of acres of land with my house but I am getting to the end of my tether with Scooby who keeps disappearing through the hedge when I take my eye off him for a second and I literally mean one second. He must run like hell when he sees me run away - and then goes deaf!
If he hears me calling then he will come back but if he is sniffing then I can't recall him for love nor money!
He loves going to the farm barns next door and in the ***** and running after people walking down the lane (thankfully, very few).
I realise that I must do something before he is run over or lost forever.
Any ideas? I could see about erecting a run but it will be expensive.
I could try attaching him to a long rope/lead but I am worried about him strangling himself or getting caught up.
It isn't feasible to put any other type of fencing up as I have horses and there is a lot of boundary, which will be a lot of work and expensive.
BTW He has been castrated.
