I don't think electric fences are a good idea, especially with such a small dog. But, I think Alison's point is especially valid - that an electric fence does absolutely nothing to protect your small dog from predators.

I must admit that when I saw the question, I thought "oh, here we go again". HOWEVER, I personally think that when someone asks for our opinions, it is okay for us to express them. If someone considers electric fences to be abusive, now is an okay time to say so, IMHO.
