Is it hard to train your dog to use these "fences"? I have never seen one in action but the new house has one installed and if we can use it instead of putting up a fence it would be a huge plus.
I could not determine if the collar was working since my old dog would once in a while just walk through the fence but would not cross it to return. So I grabbed the collar contact probes in my hand and walked across the fence. I must have thrown that collar 10' in the air, it was working ! My dog had gotten so old she just ignored it sometimes. After she died and we got another female about 6 months old, was not much in the way of training, she learned quickly to heed the "warning". As of now, 6 years later, she has not crossed the fence even though the battery may have been dead 2 or 3 weeks or more. Just some advice, I have not had much luck with batteries that are not Invisible Fence brand.Not hard tat all. Just pay attention to the batteries on the collar.
If you are ever bored or have been drinking.......try the shock collar out....it will get your attention!
^^^This^^^Depends on the dog ... hardheaded ones will run right thru it while more “sensitive” ones will catch on quick. Hardest thing is getting them to know the boundaries (little flags for a week or so usually give ‘em the idea) and learn to associate the audible warning from the collar with being close to it.

Freaking genius.They’re not just for dogs. I put one down the center of our bed to keep @Chdamn's Wife from sneaking over in the middle of the night.
