Default dog fence

We used to have an invisible fence for our first dog, but there was a five-foot zone all around the perimeter (before the shock line) wherein a warning beep sounded. Our golden was a wuss and was afraid of that beep, so he stayed well inside of it. With only ten feet of yard on either side of the house, that doesn't seem like it would leave much room for our current golden unless we would install it in the front yard too.

I'm very interested in hearing from more people who have the fence. Maybe the new ones are different than the one we had installed 1995.

Also, does dog urine stain the zoysia grass as badly as it does bluegrass? We give our dog grass-saver pills in the growing season, but they don't work 100% on bluegrass. Maybe they'll be more effective on zoysia?
