Sorry I can't recommend anyone to contact, but I do know of one house here that has the invisible fence.
Personally, I don't trust them to be 100% effective as I have first hand knowledge of a dog that got by one. We lived in Washington in a community like TV in that "no fences or walls". A neighbor several houses away left her lab alone in the yard and the dog (his name was Max) was chasing birds and ran right through the invisible fence. Once outside, I guess he couldn't get back in, so he went looking for a playmate. He saw me working in my yard and ran up to me and tried to get me to play. In his exuberance, he bit me on the hand and drew blood. A lot of it. My wife called the neighbor who came to take him home and when she saw blood dripping from my hand ( No exaggeration here), she was was mortified, to say the least. I mentioned the dogs name so you would understand when I tell you that later that day I heard the doorbell ring and answered , no one was there, but I found a large plate of freshly baked cookies with an apology letter from Max.
The moral of my story: if you put in an invisible fence, be prepared to make cookies.
Stay well. Stay safe. Don't rely on an invisible fence. Peace!
