Invisible Fence?

[Pricestavern]

Our neighbor had one installed for his Samoyed. One day, he broke thru but then couldn't get back into the property once he lost interest in whatever it was that got him to break out.

On a separate note...if the property is waterfront, what's to prevent the dog from going into the water, swimming (or wading) around and coming out on the other side of the 'fence'?

Our neighbor's dog figured out that escape route pretty quickly.

They work--until a squirrel entices the meatheads. I had a male golden who decided the temporary pain was worth the infinite pleasure of squirrel hunting. Living in the sticks of Sandwich there was no harm.

But I'm ambivalent about invisible fences. Not as good as a real fence, which isn't fail proof either, but _much_ better than nothing.

Brings back memories. I had an insane Samoyed that wouldn't rest until he escaped at any cost. Usually ended up in an 8 mile chase. Now I have a Newfy that has no interest in running anywhere.
