The exercise pen is a good idea. Have you seen the size of those collars for the fence? They are really big and heavy for such a small dog. We had one a long time ago for our border collie and lab, the lab completely disregarded the shock and the one time the border collie did get out - he wouldn't come back in! Besides, you really don't want to let the little thing out by itself, anything could happen and the pup could easily be stolen! I have a really long retractacle lead, I sit on the porch and let my dog wander a bit with it, and then we walk together for awhile.
