If we're out with the dog in the back yard, she can't go wondering out to the front yard where we can't see her, and vice versa. I definitely recommend it.
Billnterri is right. 2 zones makes it much easier to keep track of your dogs. Our yard isn't big but it's good to know where the kids are. If we're in the front, they're in the front, if we're in the back, thats where the kids are too.
You definitely want the underground fence to cover the front yard and driveway too, in case one of your dogs scoots out the front door or garage door. It all adds and safety peace of mind.
