We have one. Works great. After the dogs were used to it they stopped even needing the collar. They run up to the line and just hang in the yard watching the kids go by. And cars, and trucks. They learned the door revolves around them now. We put one in ourselves and then replaced it with the "invisible fence" brand. Their collars work better and their wiring is hardier. The homeowner installed brand didnt last a couple years before it had issues.

72 hrs of fishing SoCo, not a felony in all 50 states.

still you need a temporary visible barrier to acclimate the dog to the perimeter boundary.

the shock is just the reinforcement .....

it's definately psychological

one day at this farm
i tried to open a cow fence for this sheep dog
to let him out of the cow pasture....
but.....
despite the fact that i took down the entire
cow gate.... the dog just stood there
staring at me or pacing back and forth as if
there was a wall there only i could not see....

finally the dog got up enough nerve to try....

it came up to where the cow fence used to be
and leaped up and over the invisible gate
or so it thought....

that wasn't even there.

Yup!
I installed one last winter for my Golden ,I did some research on which would better meet our needs and then jumped on cheese bay and bought it.
We purchased a innotec ($129.00)it came with a hand held remote this can be also used as a trainer,500' of boundary wire,training DVD,boundary flags and some other stuff.
We take it camping I just bring some boundary flags put some around our camp site and our pooch won't leave

Live bait sharp hooks and timing is all you need

That pretty cool about the camp thing. I'll keep that in mind. I hired a guy out of southeast Mass., who fishes go figure, from an internet site. He has been in business training dogs for 20 years and doing the fence thing for 7 years. Liked his price and his lifetime guarantee. I need about 850 feet installed, so I think I'll let him do it. Thanks again for the advice.

Yeah it's pretty handy,once we get to the camp site I put up the flags and just watch her for a bit if she gets close to the boundary I'll give the remote a touch and it sends a beep beep to the collar and she backs off and were good for the duration.
If you have a Buddy who can do it for you & at a good price I'd go with it,I had to bury 750' under the lawn cut my driveway and boar a 1/4" X 12" hole through my foundation to run the leads out it took me 2 weekends in January
