Sorry, I forgot to add that the electric fence has not caused any type of fear or aggression in the dogs as mentioned. Dogs are very smart animals......they quickly learn that they get shocked for crossing the "line", not for chasing a squirrel or the mailman. They are not scared of the fence, they just know not to cross it.
