Hi David,
I did not mention about pee it dose work.When I
take my dogs around our propity ( 10 acres) we do not alot of problems . I
still get the odd 1 usely during the day as they soon work out when you let
your chooks out. If you find a fox poo let your dog smell it. If he rolls in
it. Put a peg on your nose and wash dog. Try useing his poo instead ..
Hope this helps
peggy
