A happy ending for Labradoodle Maggie


They say cats have nine lives, well Maggie the Labradoodle is one lucky dog. Thrown out of a car window with two other puppies, she was rescued by the RSPCA somewhere on the Pacific Highway central NSW. The other two puppies were killed but Maggie sat by the road waiting to be rescued.



Unfortunately, more than 1000 pets are put down every week in Australia, mostly due to unacceptable behaviour where owners become frustrated and dump their pets at the local pound. Undesirable behaviours such as nuisance barking, escaping properties, digging, chasing neighbours' chooks can now be solved with a range of safe and effective products from Innotek Australia.


Fortunately, for Maggie she was adopted by Jennifer Runge but her problems didn't stop there. Jennifer found Maggie wandering along the busy highway visiting neighbours and had to find an cost effective alternative solution to replacing 7 acres of rundown fences. She discovered Innotek's Smart Dog pet containment system and quickly installed to keep Maggie out of harm's way.


The system works on the principle of a boundary wire on the property in which the owner wishes to contain their pet. Acting like an invisible fence, you can also block off areas such as pools, garden beds or any areas you don't want the dog to go. The dog is equipped with a special computerised collar that picks up a radio signal from the wire when he approaches the boundary. Together with a brief training period, most dogs will learn their new boundaries within a fortnight.


Jennifer shares her experience, " I can now go to work and know that when I return, Maggie will still be there, safe. It has amazed so many of our friends and visitors to see Maggie contined with no fence! We have a dam near the house, in which she sends a lot of time swimming, so the waterproof collar is perfect". From the smallest little escape artist Jack Russell terrier to large strong willed Boxers, Innotek offers a solution to suit your dog and property specifications.
