so, i'm thinking of getting a wireless fence on my property so my dog can go outside when she wants without being on a leash or confined.

i didn't know what a wireless fence was until i went to my mother's house and noticed the dog's next door would run right up to the driveway, but never cross. i asked what the deal was and my mom told me about the wireless fence/collars.

when she told me about it (how it shocks them) it was before i owned a dog, and i thought it sounded pretty horrible! now that i own a dog and i can't afford to put a fence around my property (it's big) it's sounding like a good idea. obviously, i'm still not decided on it because i want to make sure it's humane (hence, the post).

what are your thoughts on the wireless fences? are they harmful? do you have one? is it effective?
