Something I suggested was mentioned here to and I think I should clarify what I was trying to say
My mother in law lives in the countryside,she is in the middle of nowhere BUT has a few neighbours and these have small kids.Right now she has a total of 10 dogs and 4 are german sheppards,so she can not risk any of these getting onto someones property and hurting a child or causing any damage.Where she lives there are no fences (because there are sheep that need to get from one place to another) and these arent even allowed (neither are hot wires),instead there are low bushes seperating one peice of land from the next etc,so obviously something is needed to stop her dogs doing any damage because she cant keep them chained up forever THAT would be cruel.
The invisible fence is a GREAT invention and the collars are only used when the dogs are out of the kennels (they´re soft,padded and elasticated),so there is no risk of them getting strangled.Also,the invisible fence only makes high pitched sounds to stop the dog from crossing the line,and beleive me,it works and its harmless.
The dogs are able to run free without getting lost,stollen or shot at by angry neighbours,so in my eyes,its well worth it
