Claude, sounds like you should put a dog house and those dogs in your garden. although the poor guys may get stuck in the fence again! My brother is really good about training his dogs, too. Roxanne, his dog, will obey any command from him, even if she is chasing something. His friend's doxies were not so well trained. He was forever frustrated with those dogs running away and not coming back when called.

I have not had woodchucks at my place since I got the border collie. He hasn't killed one yet, but they decided to move elsewhere to be safe. Mom has dozens just down the road. I they are in season most of the year here, so the .22 rifle gets some use. Gotta be pretty sneaky though, due to their excellent ears.

My dogs are great deterrents...the hogs are such fierce fighters that I worry that they might be injured. My sisters two adopted dogs work in tandem...they have killed more groundhogs away from her garden than I can count. So every time I cut the lawn, I walk them around to sprinkle..hoping that's enough. I've got to figure out if there might be another way he's getting in too. i might have to leave my cast iron pan at the ready!

My brother was worried about the three dogs getting hurt, too, but it never happened. And the groundhogs were so stupid. They just kept coming into the yard, one after the other to get at the garden. The dogs killed more than a dozen that summer. My brother even started going out in the yard and whistling really loud and taking a lap around the yard before letting the dogs out....trying to scare the groundhogs away himself before letting out the dogs. It didn't work for him. He was really tired of burying groundhogs and bathing dogs. Maybe the groundhogs were just really dumb or very hungry. This was a yard at the end of a street in the small town, up against a small wood and a near a railroad track, so there were probably a lot of good groundhog homes in the area.
