Are Invisible Dog fences Good? Do They work?

[mrspunkysmom]

A former neighbor has one for his large yellow lab and it works for him. He lives on a small lot and the fence encompasses a small area. Like you he didn't want the dog to run into the road.

Buddy stays away from the fence and knows his limits. I suspect a lot of it depends on the dogs training and relationship with his/her master.

My neighbor bought the insurance policy with it (not too expensive) and it was needed. Power surge took out the control box and it only cost 5 dollars as opposed to the 300 the box cost.

Good luck with your fence.

Our neighbors had one, and I think they left it when they moved. They're yellow lab took a shock to chase a squirrel or whatever. It didn't go back to the yard though. Sometimes it had spots that weren't working. Definately get insurance on it because they had their power box for it replaced a few times and the line replaced once or twice.
