Russ, electric fence chargers for cattle, horses, etc produce greater charges than one designed for dogs (2000 pound animal versus 75 pound animal, right?). I wouldn't use a large animal charger on my own dogs, for sure. I have used one designed for dogs and it worked very well and my dogs are still normal. Ironically, when I look back at life on the farm in the 50's I recall everyone expecting their dogs to come, sit, fetch, not kill chickens, and generally, understand the english language without being trained or having learned right and wrong through proper discipline. I have zero obedience problems with my Labrador Retrievers after having patiently leash trained them and kindly reinforcing right and wrong behavior. A lot of the problems folks have with dogs are associated with their instinctive behavior that persists in the absence of training. I think your dogs are pretty smart for using the culvert and avoiding the electric fence, don't you?
