Invisible fences do not work for every dog. Ours has such a high pain threshhold the current would have to be so high he would be electrocuted if a squirrel ran by outside the fence. Ask your vet about which breeds often can not be contained in an invisible fence before you invest.
We live in a neighborhood with a covenant against fences. (Bought pre-dog.) He goes in our yard unless out for a walk. Wherever; we pick up after him. He is always on leash. We love our neighbors and they have elected my husband as president of our association for eleven years. Never met a grump who didn't fall in love with our dog.
But now I want to move somewhere we can have a fence so I can sit out and watch him chase his toys and play. We are renting for three months at the villages (thankfully where there is a fenced in back yard.) But it sounds as though we will be overly limited if we decide to buy (one of the reasons we wanted to rent, to try it out).
Worse. I've heard so much about the friendliness of everyone that it sounded wonderful. Now I find out there are grumps. Sad.
