Invisible Fence for Dogs

Any reason a permanent fence can't be built?

Works on some dogs, not on others. I had a border collie mix that would laugh at it. And once they get out (like chasing a squirrel) they won't come back.

You bury a wire to install.

I know one person who lost 2 boxers due to them getting out and another lost their lab bc it also got out and got hit by a car. If they are chasing something, that shock will not stop them, and once they're out, the shock keeps them from coming back in.

I'll never use one fwiw

I have one for my bassett hound and I must say it works well. Mine is like the one you are describing. It is wireless remote. Just plug it in and it is ready to go. I have had mine for about three years and havent had a problem yet. It took my dog getting popped about three times and he had it figured out. Now when he hears it start beeping he is turning the other way!!! And this isnt your ordinary bassett hound....he is VERY energetic to say the least. The trick is to put it on the highest setting to start out so they get the message real quick. I started mine out on a medium to low setting to start out and he barely flinched. Cranked it up all the way and he understood what was going on then!! I highly recommend getting one. I got mine for the same situation you are describing. Mine is made by Pet Safe.

I have the underground one that goes all the way around the backyard. After a brief "training" period it works perfectly. The dogs are smart though and know when the collar is on/off and will behave accordingly. One of the collar's shorted out a fried her fricking neck which I was not very happy about.

Overall Im pleased with the product and would recommend it.
