Invisible Fence (brand name)
We have used/had for 4 dogs. Service is excellent. Our home backed up to a marsh (hence lots of critters came through our back yard in MI. I had to be trained (big factor for success) Training is very important as is being out with the dog. If your dog has been previously been trained for “recall”, you have a way to back up the Invisible Fence(IF) training.
Yes the dog may test the boundaries and yes they will get a warning from the collar before they get too close then a shock. The IF trainer will only set it at the lowest level for dog to recognize it has to stop.
Yes my dogs have breached the boundaries if they found the stimulus is worth going out of the yard. I have used lots of positive reinforcement when my dog respected my commands.
Otherwise I had a leash at the ready to bring him back. Lots of factors come into play.
When training you will only have the driveway to bring it back to the yard never take your dog over the IF to walk it (part of training) Once YOU have everything set you and your dog will enjoy the freedom to walk the yard. Let me know if I can answer any questions. NO I do not have stock in Invisible Fence😁
