[quote=Anonymous]Invisible fence is not cruel. You will need to take the time to train them to the border. They learn the sound and if they go further they feel the zap. You can adjust the volume of the sound and the zap. Our dogs were trained by the sound on one try, so they only felt the zap once. You walk them around the perimeter, letting them hear the sound. They very quickly learn that if they go further, there will be a zap. I don't think one zap is cruel. I tried it myself and it was no worse than if you've ever accidently touched a metal prong when pulling out a plug--startling, but not painful. However, I have heard of dogs that cannot be contained no matter how high the zap is set, but there are dogs that won't stay in traditionally fenced yards either.[/quote]
