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!

Dogs should never be left in the yard alone. Animals and people can still get to the dog, even though the dog can’t get out. As far as the dog you saw escaping, the dog was not trained to the fence properly and/or the fence wasn’t adjusted properly for the dog. We’ve had an invisible fence for 15-20 years with no problems
