I keep her in kennel mostly. Worked late today, kids let her out to play. She ventured over to my uncles house ( nearest neighbor ) , he brought her back but wasn’t too happy. I’m looking to keep her closer. Bury a wire? Use a collar with a central unit with a radius? Chain and 55 gal barrel lol? What’s your thoughts, thanks

Wife bought the unit that plugs in the house and has a radius around the unit. Came with 2 collars and marking flags. Walked the dogs around the perimeter every day for a week and then let them do what they were going to do. Both got lit up once and they never crossed the perimeter again. We don’t even have the unit plugged in anymore. If they have their collars on, they WILL NOT go across the perimeter. I physically take the collars off to get them to take a ride in the truck or to go for a long walk. Even with the unit off, they will physically pull back and not let you take them across the perimeter until they see their collars removed. VERY effective.

They now have a combo collar that works with the invisible fence and as a training collar so you don't need to have to separate collars now.

Once dogs were trained, the fence did its job. Keep in mind they will keep your dog in but won't keep unwanted dogs out. We had a couple instances where a couple dogs came into our yard and piled on our dogs tearing them up. Once I thinned those out, we were very happy with the fence. I did the install myself, no idea if that's still an option or what the units cost these days. WS

It’s been a blessing and if i had to spend 500 dollars tomorrow on a new one I would. It took about 2 days for the dog to figure out the perimeter. Just have to remember to take it off when take the dog somewhere otherwise you feel really bad lol

When my Mt Cur sees a coon or possum walking across the yard, he backs up from the circle how far he can range and couches down and lets them come. He waits for them to get about five or ten ft in the circle before he attacks

When I first led her to the hot wire for a taste of electricity, she was terrified. I assumed she had a firm grasp of what those flags meant, and would not go near them again. I stopped my training. Big mistake. A year later I sold the unit to a friend with a money-back guarantee. He had two young Dalmations. A few months later, he returned it. A year later I sold it to a neighbor with the same guarantee, and again I bought it back. The message here is: Read the manual twice and follow the instructions exactly.

My doctor suggested I start doing squats, so I moved all the beer to the bottom shelf of my fridge.

Jack Russell Terriers are known for that. Put up a physical fence , they will dig under it. Put up a invisible fence , they will learn to zoom through it quick and take the hit for freedom It takes both types of fences to control a determined dog like a JRT. NRA benefactor member

They would walk across the yard and when it started beeping to warn them they would lay down and let it beep until the battery wore out, it would stop beeping, and they would stand up and go wherever they wanted to. Smart dogs. You got a Lab? You should be ok. lol. Just kidding. I couldn't pass that one up. Those Doberman's really did that though.

The PetSafe gives a 2-3 second beep and then juice is flowing. The only way that a shock isn't forthcoming is if they clear the beeping by getting back into the safe zone. I'm sure if anyone is interested, they could read up on the specs online. Guys who run dogs would know way better than me, but seems like the tone followed by a bad result is a powerful tool. I've seen guys 'tone' their rabbit dogs who didn't want to come to them. The tone or beep worked by itself and the shock punishment didn't need to occur. Same thing I've seen with my house dogs.
