Generally, I don't like the "shock" or "correction" as it's called for dog training. But, as I've posted before, Abbey is very stubborn about staying in her yard. We spend big $$ to fence 2 acres of our land and she would just sail over the fence. Ott and I installed (ourselves) the invisible fencing along the entire fence line and she did well for a while. Then, she started jumping and taking a "hit." I refused to raise the shock level over anything other than mid-range. We made a few changes to the physical fence and she still wears the collar but we haven't had any escapes in a long time.
I wouldn't trust the invisible fence alone. Dogs will go through it.

Exactly. The ONLY reason we put one in is because we had tried everything. I was hysterical every time Abbey would get out because she would run with the dog next door (who is not restricted) and we live on a very rural road but the cars fly.
My dogs are NEVER left in the yard without someone being home, but it only takes a split second of her leaving the yard and getting in the road. I still constantly check on them.

The collar didn't even phase my older dog at all....she went right thru the "fence line"
a couple of weeks after we installed it the great people at SMECO came down to the house to re-connect the electric line that one of their contractors cut and they had issues getting out of the driveway....needless to say I'm still waiting for the check from them for taring up the "fence line" when they did a burn out by my driveway(I think the check will be in the mail today
)

I tried one, assuming you are talking about the "invisible" fence. After the training my dog would just sit right in the middle of the yard, afraid to move. Until a cat ran by, when she'd take of after it and then not be able to come back in the yard. Worked on my boy though.onebdzee said:

I was just curious. DH wants to get one, but I was leary about it.
