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 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.

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!
