IMO... Electric fences are great. My mom used it for our first dog (min. dauchsund). But our is different from the underground our above ground. Her's is a box that you sit somewhere in the middle of your house. It can be in a cabinet or pantry or anywhere. This box sets a perimerter around your house. You can do it as small or as little as you want. You jsut have to hold the colloar out when you walk in the yard to see how far you want your pup to go. It also has a setting from 1lb. to 150lb. dog. so the jolt that your get is according to the size of the dog. I put it on my wrist and went over the line and it's like a bee sting. Also it gives a louder and the louder beep when you start getting to close so you know your about to get shocked. Hunter (our doxi) only go hit maybe once or twice and never again.
Also we put up flags at first so he knew his boundries
