Our street at the time was pretty busy, and the way contractors speed their trucks up and down it was a miracle he wasn't flattened. I knew I had to do something about this so I called Dog Watch Hidden Fences (352-351-3642) from an advertisement in the Daily Sun. They came out and gave us a quote which was surprisingly reasonable. They installed the invisible fence around our yard, explained how it worked, stayed to start training and within a few weeks our little free-rider was stopping without any verbal warnings within his "zone".
I highly recommend this company, they are very prompt when you call, offer to assist in the trainings, and make any repairs for times the line gets cut because of...well accidents MAY happen while gardening.
So if you have ever wondered if an invisible fence was for you, we HIGHLY recommend installing and using DogWatch Hidden Fences for the safety of your pets.

I totally agree with your recommendation. Dog Watch is a great company. In 2010 we moved from our CYV to a house. We had an invisible fence installed to contain our 10 lb dog and our 70 lb dog. Prior to speaking to Dog Watch, I thought invisible fences were inhumane. But I quickly learned that the secret is all in the training ... if properly trained, dogs will never experience a correction. Training was made easy with frequent visits from Dog Watch. Even the ducks that waddle up from the pond to tease my 70 lb dog are now safe.
Here is something I find really amazing. After six months away, when we return to The Villages, we don't even have to put collars on the dogs so that they get a warning beep to stay away from the lot line. Without collars, they still remember the boundaries! (Although I do Definitely recommend collars at all times ... that was just a little experiment).
But please remember, if you have an invisible fence, dogs still need to be supervised when outside!! Predators can still come onto the property.
