Anyone have one? Do you like it? Would you do it again? Thanks.

 

invisable fences aint any good
they give the dog a little shock when the dog goes accross the barrier
if the dog wants to go across it they will and might not go back because of the new freedom and little shock
get a real fence for the dog

 

we got one and we had the collar on our old dog... if you gonna use the dog for huntin.. the no dont do it cause then in the field the dogs is always tryin to fing out where the fence might be and wont focus on the birds... our new dog is never gonna have the collar on cause she a huntin dog... but if its a family dog ours worked great!

 

I don't know what breed of dog you have but rottweilers, pitts, GSD's, any of the working breeds will bolt across invisible fencing because of their "prey drive". A little shock won't stop them. however, labs, goldens, poodles...etc may do very well with invisible fencing.

I wouldn't trust it with our dogs, privacy fence 6 foot high sometimes I don't even trust..

 

I've got one for my yellow lab. Took him 5 minutes to learn it and after almost two years, he still knows where it's buried at. We left the flags up for about a month after he learned his boundaries. I like the fence. No adverse effects on retrieving ducks either.

 

I've used one for at least the last 15 years. It is true that if they cross over they will be less than interested in returning with there new freedom, not to mention that they have to get shocked to return home . That being said the little box they wear puts out a lot more than just a little tingle, and dogs are very shy of electric shocks. The flags are a good training tool, however if you have access to a regular fencer (livestock)to use at first when the dog is just a pup, then switch to the invisable fence it works really well for training purposes. Good Luck with what ever you decide.

 

The problem I had with the stuff was it didn't keep other dogs from coming into the yard. Not to mention that most dogs will learn pretty quick what the boundaries are even without the fence and you have to teach em either way.

 

We have one for our dogs. My dog will bolt right through it but she jumps when it shocks her so she runs back through it and gets it again. Its gotten to the point where we dont even put batteries in the collar because she wont come of the front porch when we put the collar on her. and with my moms dog she learned after about 10 minutes of where she can go and cant so she pretty much stays put,

 

Like everyone else says, it really depends on the dog. I've got one for a beagle and a Shepard mix and get o.k. results. They both stay in the yard but if motivated they will go through. The Beagle will sit at the edge of the fence when he wants to return and howl non stop until I go get him while the shepard runs around to the front door and will sit and wait for the door to be opened. It makes a diffrence where you live also, I'm out in the woods and neighbors are spread out, i wouldn't trust it in a development as much IMO. Good luck with whatever you choose.

P.S. If you get one that you bury the line, remember where it is, it reallly suck to fix when your mother in law makes a small flower garden in your backyard and cuts the line in 3 spots!
