We had invisible fencing at our home in Geogria. Our Westie did great with it for four years until a bunny ran across the yard and into a neighbors yard. He couldn't resist and ran after the bunny. After that he would literally back up and get a running start on the barrier. He learned that it only hurt for a moment and the "reward" was worth the pain. Once they are out, they must cross the barrier again to get home. I agree with other posters that you must also worry about who/what can get into your yard. We built a fence after that as there was no containing him any longer. Here in the villages have a CYV.
