[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thank you for the replies. I'll check out the links. I actually want to keep the [b]invisible fence [/b]if at all possible.[/quote] Two things about invisible fences: 1. Dogs with strong prey instincts (this includes all terriers and, I would think, hounds?) will not be deterred by an invisible fence. They will take the hit to get out - but will not take it to get back in. Some breed-specific rescue groups don't view invisible fences as real fences for this reason. 2. Invisible fences keep your dog in, but do not keep other dogs (or predators) out. So, for example, a very small dog (Yorkie or the like) could be preyed on by a coyote or fox coming in from outside, or by a larger dog as well. Also: If you work full-time, you will need a mid-day dog walker.[/quote]
