We have Invisible Fence and love it.Ā
We have a neighbor that lets their beagle roam the neighborhood off-lease.Ā The beagle likes to tease our dog, Max, by coming over to our yard and sitting right at the boundary of our yard.Ā Not once has he bolted past the line to go play with her.
But as a word of caution, another neighbor has the same system and their dog ended up in our backyard.Ā Turns out they let the battery go dead.
Positives for us:Ā cheaper than regular fence, neighbor dog could come over and play, not wanting to box in our yard, invisible fence in front yard where we wouldn't have been able to put up real fence
Other words of caution: must be diligent with training, kids/other dogs won't be kept out of yard, remember to take collar off when going for walks or trips, need to replace batteries
