Find out why and fix the way. If yo can not figure out why or take the time to find out why that is lazy.
Zapping a dog to stay in a yard does not make it feel safe it makes it feel afraid to try to get out. It gives it limits but it done by fear.
Yes I have a dog that sleeps all day to in a very large kennel as she can not settle do to anxiety when left free to roam the house.
In her very large kennel she can not jump of, she has room to play if she chooses to or eat or sleep but when left to run she will pull things apart do to her anxiety. This girl is a 10 pounder and she can climb over things like they are nothing with a lib she settles down. In a kennel she blocked from seeing the nieghbours dog at the window trying to pick a fight or the gopher that must be chased or the person she fears walking by she must go kill. She is calm and resting.

Wait, are you saying that you have a dog that sleeps all day in a kennel, and stays in that kennel to eat, play, etc? If that's what you're saying, I'm sorry, but that's terrible. A dog cannot be kept in a kennel. I don't care how anxious or fearful she is, you have to get her to experience the world and get over that fear. Just like a depressed person who stays in their house all day... it makes them worse. That is NO life for a dog and if I'm understanding you correctly and that is what you're doing to a dog, that is way
worse than what you're claiming Cesar apparently does to his dogs. If you're a trainer, why would you not train her to NOT pick a fight with the neighbors dog or a gopher? You're going to keep her secluded from the world instead?!
