So you take the dog, on the leash, up to the flags, hear the beep, turn him around and back off, and reward. It works a treat with retrievers. I don't know about other dogs.
That having been said, I would not use an invisible fence in TV. Too many coyotes and alligators who haven't been "positively" trained.

Absolutely. I've had an invisible fence for 6 years with 2 dogs and neither of them were ever shocked. Also, the system generates a low level shock, I've tested it on my arm. We're not talking electrocution here, and the strength of the shock is adjustable.
