Thumbs down Invisible Fences -- Too Risky!

Forget invisible fences. We tried that and had a dense shrub covering the invisible fence line.
Our dog jumped the shrub (at a certain height electronic fences do not work).
Also, the collar was a pain in the neck because you can't leave that bulky thing on all day long in the house.

Furthermore, all you need is a female in heat close by and your male dog could care less about the quick shock from the collar; he's gone!
