Anybody with an invisible fence

[Pieman]

Never needed a fence before with our old dog, but two puppies have changed that. Would prefer a fixed above ground fence but dealing with city hall and a neighbor ( a friend of city hall) presents problems. Anybody have experience (good, bad otherwise) with an electric, invisible fence? thanks in advance.

We have one, I think its Invisible Fence brand. Cost more than the dog, but I'd do it again. They installed it and sent out a trainer. He only blasted through it once, ten deer were too much temptation.

Neighbors just installed a wireless fence. I'll let you know how it goes - two hose ends, a welcome mat and a really nice bag of sencha (ate through the UPS box and into the envelope!) - I need this fence to work!

They've now had it up a week, little flags showing the dog the perimeter. Theirs is a wireless deal (no buried wire - uses a wireless transmitter). The dog gets within a couple of feet of the perimeter the collar beeps. If he continues on it hits him pretty hard. He yelped and ran back into the garage the other afternoon, so it seems to work. They're still in the "training stage" they tell me, but so far it seems to work fine.

We have 3 greyhounds and a six-foot cedar fence; they run way too fast for invisible fence unless you crank it up to stun-gun levels. Some days I'm almost tempted lol.

I bet those hounds could clear a 6-foot fence if they got a good run

on it!
