    Labs not afraid of vehicles

    I have a problem with my two labs. We live at the end of a gravel road on 10 acres. 5 of these acres are enclosed with "Invisible Fence" to keep my labs from roaming the neighborhood. Whenever a vehicle comes to our house or leaves my dogs don't know to stay out of the path and I'm afraid they're going to get hit. I went out the road this morning to get the paper and Hokie ran right across in front of me and he was so close that I lost sight of him. I live in fear that the UPS or FedEx trucks are going to run over them. Can anyone make some suggestions? Honking the horn does nothing.
    Thanks,
    Labmomma (Donna)

    Move the fence so that it does no go in the path of the vehicles.

    Move the fence, build a run when for when you can't supervise them, and/or keep them indoors when you aren't outside or when you aren't home.

    Really, we have had one PT member in a similar situation, with dogs that didn't pay attention to cars, and one of her girls was run over by a car (she's fine, thankfully). It would be HORRIBLE if that happened to one of your pups!

    Yup, either more "invisible fencing" or a real fence to keep them of the driveway. You cannot be sure they'll be safe any other way.
