[pianotech] Grand piano and dog

[Steven Sandstrom]

  I have been in homes that have just that. Some sort of electric fence to keep their dogs out of certain rooms. The people had an outside electric fence and got the indoor units from the same company. I'm sure you could find something on the internet.

  If she suspects it's an odor in the piano leg that's attracting the dog,
  you might consider an experiment: put that corner of the piano up on a
  sturdy sawhorse or something else that will support the weight, and remove
  the leg. If the dog doesn't pee on the sawhorse, you know it's the odor in
  the leg that's beckoning him. Send the leg to Dave Swartz, RPT, in
  Rosemount, MN. He specializes in all kinds of piano odor removal and does
  a terrific job. She'd probably have to do some sort of treatment to the
  floor to get the dog's urine smell out of that, too.

  Paul's idea of an electric fence around the piano might not be as silly as
  it sounds, too - if she has a basement, she could buy an "invisible fence"
  and staple the wire (normally buried in the ground outside) under the
  floor around the area the piano is in. I used to do this to keep the dog
  out of the kitchen - just stapled the wire under the kitchen door down in
  the basement. Worked like a charm!
