I was told when I got my Weimaraner that the breed is never to be trusted with an invisible fence because their instinct for chasing birds and game is so strong. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to train him to respect the fence. He never goes near the boundary no matter what the temptation.

However, I always supervise my dogs when they are outside. The invisible fence allows me to have them off-leash in our yard, but they are never left alone there.
