Are Invisible Dog fences Good? Do They work?

I hate them. My neighbors all have them and they are always getting out of them and then they are to afraid to go back over to the house. Now if you only have them out supervised then I don't find anything wrong with them.

They are never out unsupervised as it is, i just want them to be safe, and not fear for them to run to the road. You know what I mean?

The Problem is they are very expensive, especially for two large dogs, so I want to make sure it will do what it is supposed to, before forking out the cash!

I'd never trust them. They don't work at all for most huskies. The urge to run is too strong. They offer no protection from other animals or people coming in.

My neighbor has one for Daisy. It's useless. She'll take the zap to come over to our place. She's much less likely to take it to go home! She spends 95% of her time at my house.

Totally agree.

That is one of my strongest arguments against them.

WHY would I want to zap my buddy?

Ugh, no, I am totally against them. Find another way.

My cousin has one for her cocker spaniel. He regualry chases birds and squirrels across it and then across the street. AND as mentioned above, he won't come back someone has to go get him.
