The freedom that it gave her made her happier and healthier.

Just an addition to my previous post...make sure your lot will accomodate the invisible fence.
Our lot is pie shaped. (narrower in the front, wider in the rear). The side yards are fairly close to our neighbors toward the front. The buried cable that acts as the transmitter sends a signal 6-8 feet. If you don't have more space than that, your puppy won't be able to navigate from the front yard to the rear. Investigate different makes before you buy especially if you have a narrow lot.
