Hidden fence

I was wondering if those electric hidden fences work to keep dogs on your property. What do you think about them? Are they humane? I have about 1/2 an ac I would enclose with it.

Something like.

Neighbour has one and it works awesome to keep his hunting beagle in .

I have one and it works great. More humane than chasing a cat into oncoming traffic. The petsafe product is a much better value than the hidden fence product.

Just remember .... it won't keep other dogs or animals out!

Do they work in the winter?

Yes they work in winter .

With mine, I used the collars on both hunting dogs for several months. Following that initial time period I only need to put the collars on the dogs for as little as one week twice a year and they'll respect the boundaries for the rest of the year.

I have a fence and its great keeps my dog in and safe from traffic he has only been shocked once when we had to train him.. Other than that It gives the dog a warning beeping sound before they get the shock so they likely back right up.. I have a lot of walkers with their dogs go by and think my lab is trained well by not leaving the front line..little do they know its the fence. Most humane thing on the market, better than a chain..And saves on vet bills

I have had the "invisible fence" brand for 15 years now. Had an issue when frost heaving caused a break at the driveway. Service guys were there within a day. I had 3 dogs on the service and currently have 2. The Invisible Fence people, installed the unit on 1.6 acre property and it works flawlessly. My dogs will chase other animals on the property full speed and then slam on the brakes before hitting that point. Can't say enough good things about the service and the equipment. It works all weather, and gives you piece of mind that they won't run.
