I think most of us ( possibly all) are against the electric fence. As pet owners we all make our own decisions on what is best for our pets, but I would never be able to use an electric fence. I would hate to see my little 4 pound male shocked. That would just kill me inside. I would honestly hate to see a 70 pound dog shocked much less a tiny 4 pound.

I think it’s an inhumane/ lazy way of training your dogs. I know a handful of people with loads of land bigger than your's, and they have trained their dog their boundaries.

Also please remember it “may” keep them in the yard, but it will not protect them against hawks and getting snatched up by a coyote. The only thing that is going to save your dog’s life is you watching them.. I just hope you’re not letting them in the backyard alone.
