If we're lucky, she'll only have to get zapped once.

Nose high?
I am having a difficult time trying to figure out what "nose high" means. Is this when Lucy is sniffing near the ground, when she is sitting,standing, jumping, or digging? How high is "nose high?

That's nose high sniffing. Lucy seems to go for weak spots right above ground level, and we figure a judicious shock next time will prevent that behavior. Electric fences are really meant to be a deterrent, not a barrier, so they don't need to be at all the levels Lucy could potentially get to. (Although, with deer, I hear that you need to string the fence up quite high to take jumping into account.)
