The zones have arrived

Well the zones to use indoors for training Midas have arrived. We just bought one and essentially it's a little disk that you can set so that when he gets too close to it, it beeps his collar and/or shocks him. Brad was getting it set up so he had taken off both dogs' collars so they wouldn't get shocked. Just hearing the collars beeping, even though it wasn't hurting him, made Midas so nervous that he hopped up in my lap (not just on the footstool as is his norm, but completely on my lap) and was shaking. Poor guy. He just really does not like to hear that sound. (Lucy thought it looked like fun to all be in the chair together, so she hopped up as well and got on the top of the chair behind my head.) So we've used it for two days now, and so far it has worked...or maybe he just isn't interested in the office door anymore. We have it just inside the office door and it is set so that if he gets within about a foot and a half of the door, it will beep at him. We moved his toy box to the other side of the room, so maybe he'll just forget he wanted to get into the office.
