[quote=Anonymous]Here is what we did: our house came with a wooden fence but it was only about 42" tall and one day the dogs jumped the fence -- we think because they were going after deer. The long and the short of it is that one of the dogs was hit by a car and killed.

What we did thereafter was to self-install an invisible fence that was basically attached to the wood fence except in a limited area where it was placed about six inches underground. It cost us about $300 for the whole set-up and took about four hours to get done. We have a very large yard of 2 acres ...... about 3/4 acre is fenced. The dogs are trained pretty easily not to go near the area where they will get shocked. It has worked flawlessly because they don't go close enough to the fence to try and jump it.

BTW, the whole thing about it being cruel is nonsense: the shock that a dog receives is akin to the static shock from carpet. It is uncomfortable but not painful. The point about it not stopping dogs or other animals coming in from outside is valid. [/quote]
