Why a fence is electrically charged
Even without animals in the pasture, fences can be charged because entire farms are networked together. Switching off is often not possible – so it's better to keep your distance.
Why dog waste cannot always be completely removed
With bags, almost everything can be removed cleanly. With diarrhea, sometimes something remains – the important thing is to remove it as well as possible anyway.
Why dog waste bags should not be temporarily stored
Leaving a bag by the wayside and picking it up later – this only works if it's actually collected. If you forget it, both waste and plastic remain. A conversation with the farmer often creates understanding.
Why dog waste can make animals sick
Dog waste can contain parasites that are dangerous for cattle, e.g. Neospora caninum, which causes miscarriages. That's why picking it up is so important.
Why dogs should not bathe in wells
Cows no longer like to drink water from wells when dogs have bathed in them. Hair and contamination make it unappetizing for the animals.
Why dogs don't belong in cow pastures
Cows can react aggressively – especially with calves. This is life-threatening for dogs. So please always leash and keep away.
Avoiding conflicts
Arguments and complaints don't help. An open conversation with the farmer almost always leads to mutual understanding.
