I'm a fan of real fences and not electric fences.

An electric fence does not keep a big dog out of your yard.

A dog that is willing to 'take the shock' to get out - may not be willing to 'take the shock' to get back in.

I have no doubt in my mind that Ringo would take the shock and run after whatever he wanted. Lucy would not - but she's too tiny for a shock collar, IMO.
