Invisible Dog Fences

[mbailey]

Does anyone have any experiance with these? Any suggestions as to brands or stories of how well they work?

We have one, it works pretty good. After their trained, once they hear the beep from the collar, they start running back away from it.

My dad has one of these set-ups to keep his retarded Basset Hounds in his yard. From what I understand, he has a rod at each corner of the property and a electrical current connects them together. His dogs have a collar when draws that current the closer they get to the invisible line.
I think he said it cost him $2500 bucks or maybe a little less? I put up a 6' wooden fence cheaper then his fancy high tech thing. His yard is about 1/2 a acre bigger then mine though.

He says it works good...but it should for that kind of money.

Always wondered how long it would take the dog to figure out to turn around when the collar starts shocking it. My two dogs would be under a pine top curled up in the fettle position

Get the ones with a training button to train the kids  not to talk back too....

my friend has one, the most fun is when speople are drunk and you bet them they can't get out of the garden whilst wearing the collar round their neck. You will lose the bet but it's worth it.

 Only down side I've heard is the fence does keep the dog in but it doesn't keep other animals out.  A friend's dog was killed when a large stray entered his yard and attacked his dog.  Around here we have coyotes so a fence is needed to keep thing out as much as it's needed to keep things in.

They're all pretty much the same, but if you have a BIG dog, there's a much heftier collar, that employs a 9 volt battery. If you put it in yourself, dont use the cheaparse wire that came with it, use 14 gauge, stranded, THHN, and an edger to make the slit with which to insert the wire.  (You DON'T want to do this twice)

Well I've shocked myself withit once so yes theres  a little  beep  before the shock. My pointer won't leave the house with the collar on. My retreiver just runs around  like a bee stung her.

I have one it works great.  That is as long as your dumb bellybutton neighbors don't decide to put a tree in without telling you and cut the line. <---------happened to me

DON'T BUY THE CHEAPO MODELS from Lowes or Home Depot. They suck! Get one of the professional grades and turn that bastage WAY THE F UP THERE!

Comes from lots of calls and searches for the stupidest dog in the world...anyone want her?

Spent $1800 to have my 4 acres done and it was worth every penny.

No thanks! I had one of them before, 140 pounds of muscle, and was scared of toads! You'd hear him barking for hours only to go outside with a pistol to find him barking at a toad 5 feet from his dog house!  Big ol' goofy mutt ate everything in the yard, but for some reason, always defended a toy spongebob with his LIFE! And if you got near that thing and tried to take it away, be ready for a fight!
