Wireless fences are made for larger dogs. They never had tiny dogs in mind for their design. It is a large current of electricity that goes into the dog during training. Certainly not for a little dog.

There is also a lot of training that goes into teaching a dog how to use a wireless fence. It sounds like you are having a hard time training your dogs to begin with, adding having to train all of them for such a fence would be tons of work and in the end could harm your babies.

There is a good thread here on YT about training your dog not to bark. I will see if I can find the link to it if someone else has not already done so. Proper training methods are much more effective than short cuts like wireless fences and medications.

Can you take your dogs out for walks rather than letting them run loose?
