I have some reservations about invisible fences. As one who likes to go for walks, I would not feel comfortable seeing a dog not leashed and wondering if that dog will run out at me. No guarantee I will see the sign, or if the dog will not charge through the fence. One of the features I love about TV is that they are strict as far as keeping pets leashed. Many years ago I read meters and have had my share of dogs charging out of yards and dog bites, and it is not a nice feeling. My husband was bit by a dog on the job 1 week before he retired and the owner always says the same thing, it is a good dog, never hurt anyone. Bottom line, I don't want to have to scrutinize every yard to see if a dog is loose, or will come charging around from the back yard or from inside the garage. That is my opinion. BTW I love dogs!
