The invisible fence should work if the dog is trained correctly. However, that will not keep other dogs or animals from coming into the yard, which could cause a problem. There are several cottage/ranch homes in Hemingway on Nash Loop that back to a patio vill neighborhood and have been enclosed in vinyl fence. The Villages had two for sale recently, but I think both have subsequently been sold - both were Amarillo/Sun Kissed. You might watch the ads or ask your realtor to watch for something like that. Good luck.
