I think there are no guarantees that your dogs wouldn't go through the invisible fence if they spotted something irresistible. You just can't take that kind of a chance. My dog won't go through the fence after ducks, even when the ducks come up to the boundary to tease them. So the fence is very effective. But we back on open space. I wouldn't trust the dogs, ever, around traffic.
