The companion of a Maryland dog with an inexplicably bad aroma wants help getting rid of the smell. A canine’s in-car barking has its partner seeking a way to change the behavior.

The answer to your problem is Invisible Fence of Apple Country.
I have both indoor and outdoor fences up and was an early convert. It works better on cats than dogs. Invisible Fence has a system where you can fence off sections of your property, for example a flower bed or the downspouts or parts of the carport ( the man whose dog keeps chewing on the car). The beauty of the fence is that you can key the collar of the animal to the units. For example, if you have cats, and do not want them to go out the doggy door, you put in indoor fence in by the doggy door keyed to the cat's collar. This keeps the cats in and the dogs still have the ability to use the doggy door. The outside fencing works the same way that the indoor fence units work. Their new fencing system works better than the old, especially if you have a headstrong dog. The old earlier fence would beep but if the dog pushed through, the correction would stop once the dog passed through. The new system doen't stop until the dog reverses and goes back into the yard. I have it and love it, but the sytem is patented, so they would have to get it from their invsible fence dealer.
