My apologies if I am posting in the wrong section but I thought this was the right place for a question regarding electronic fences.

Anyone use them? Any recommendations?

My 12 week old would live outside if I would let him, I live on the first floor in a condo and don't have a fenced in yard for him to run freely in. He paws at the screen on the patio and wants to go out and run around constantly. I know the breeder was letting him out in her back yard while potty training, I let him run around out back in the large grassy area off the leash to play a few times. He is starting to be able to run quite a bit faster now and I do not allow him off the leash anymore now that he is leash trained. Obviously it is not safe to let him run around without a leash but he is relentless with pawing at the screen and really likes to run around.

I was thinking that an electronic fence would make it possible for him to run around and stay confined in a designated area. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
