Invisible Fence System For Pet Containment: The Technology & How it Works (Research-based)

My dog has such high drive he just powers through getting electrocuted. We bought the model for training (higher power). On max setting he completely ignores it. I was holding the button because he was barking at someone walking by the house. He sounded like a robot with that thing shocking his neck while he was barking. He basically just ignored it. We didn't use it for very long.

This doesn't work with an untrained dog; the dog has to be trained to recognize it. Not buy and wear.

Yes and to be fair we weren't using the invisible fence model. He's smart and easily trainable with most things. He just has an irrational fear of strangers and a high drive. If someone was walking by our yard and he thought they were a threat the invisible fence wouldn't even slow him down.

It was more a comment about my dogs issues than the effectiveness of invisible fences.
