I have 4 shihtzus and 1 yorkie. They all have been trained to stay in our yard with an electric fence. If you train them right with the flags and they really only get shocked once because they learn very quickly to go back when they get beeped before they are shocked (you can adjust the range between the beep and the shock). I think this is the best thing I ever bought for my dogs. I only had 2 dogs when I first got the fence, and I was chasing them all the time. I have heard from my shihtzu sight also how people are againt these fences. I think if you ask my dogs, they will tell you that they would much rather be shocked any day than to be ran over by a car!!!!
I only post here every now and then, so I hope nobody hates me for my opinion.
