From Wild to Well-Behaved: A Lesson in Prudence (and Fencing!)
You know, sometimes life throws you little surprises that make you stop and think. This week in our obedience class, we had one of those moments with Prudence, a dog who usually spends the entire session whining, barking, pulling, and lunging. But this time? She was a completely different dog. Calm, collected, and totally under control—all thanks to a new handler (maybe the owner’s daughter?). Even our trainer hardly had to step in! Now, Prudence still couldn’t be trusted off-leash like the other seven dogs, but the change was incredible.
The word prudence means acting with thought for the future, and that got me thinking. Sometimes, all it takes is a fresh approach—or the right tools—to get things under control. Whether you’re training a dog or planning a project, having the right strategy (and materials) makes all the difference.
A Prudent Reminder for Your Projects
Speaking of prudence, here’s something to think about: there’s a potential dockworker strike on the horizon in January. If it happens, it could disrupt the supply chain—especially for materials like Deer Fencing, Hardware Cloth, Galvanized Wire Mesh, and Vinyl-Coated Wire. The steel used for manufacturing these wire meshes comes from China, and many of the wire meshes themselves are made there too. So, if supplies get held up, finding the materials you need could become the hardest part of your project.
At Louis E. Page, we’re here to help you get ahead of the game. We’ve got immediate shipping on all your fencing needs, so you can stock up now and avoid the stress later. Don’t wait until supplies are affected—visit louispage.com to secure what you need today.
