| I have an area fenced for my little guys that is wooden lattice, tight to the ground, it is long and narrow, so that hawks can't get is / out... and they are never outside alone, for more than a minute or two, even when the weather is good. I am in the country and there are predators around, including, but not limited to wild life! (children, neighbours dogs...) I considered it for my big dogs until I realized that a wolf / coyote could walk right in! I have tried them, on myself, and it isn't the shock that concerns me, it is the "illusion" of safety!!!

| Not really sure why anybody would choose to use this for a small dog... I know any type of "low" setting wouldn't stop Elllie in her barking/attacking fits either. She would most likely run through it. Elllie got out of a chain link fence at our old house, and from then on it has been harness and leash. Maybe I'm missing something, but why not use a harness and long tie out? It seems that would be safe as long as they are supervised (and they always should be while outside).

| Yep! That's what I do. We live on 3 acres, unfenced, and I bought a retractable tie-out that goes out 19 feet. But I also have a 50 foot training leash that I attach to the tie-out, so it gives him 70 feet total to roam. It works for us and gives him more room than any fence I could build. The leash is light-weight too so you can't really feel it. Over at my dad's house, he has a fence and I must say it IS very convenient to be able to just let your dog out, and not worry. I will have a fence eventually but for now the tie-out method is working good.
