Good question and I've wondered about that myself. I'm almost positive the dogs will remember the boundaries. As soon as I arrive, I'll do a refresher course with the collars that beep, no current.

I've found that animals can remember anything important to them. After six months in exile, my Himalyan cat (almost 18) can remember exactly where I feed her. I feed her in the bathroom, away from the dogs. When we arrive at our house in TV, she immediately goes into the bathroom and sits and stares at the empty floor until I put her food down.
