My sister has eight Siberian huskies that climb as well as dig. They were simply uncontainable before she put up electric wires at the top and bottom of the fence. Now none of them even try to get out.
I do not like "invisible" fences, for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, your dog wearing the collar may (or may not!!!) stay inside the "fence" ... but to all the other dog roaming free, the "fence" means nothing since they don't have the collar on. Those dogs might be aggresive, sick, carrying parasites, etc. Around here, too, we have rabid wildlife. Scary. Also, a lot of dogs simply learn to ignore the "fence" anyway, I've seen it happen ... especially if they see a cat or a rabbit running by. Plus, batteries go dead, etc. A real fence is SO much more secure.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
