I have in Invisble Fence in my yard for my 25 lbs Sheltie. She would chase every dog or car that went down the road. It took her a good month for me to feel comfortable with leaving her outside, but its so nice now to just be able to open the door and let the dog out. I would hate having to work around a fence in my yard all the time or have to walk out side to chain up the dog.It might take a little longer to get the dog to understand the fence, but I think its a lot more convient than any other method.
To buy the invisible fence brand transmitter and collar is like $450. I have my parents old one that was installed in 1988 and I just moved the box to my house and buried a new wire. It still works great. I know somone that had the Inviisble Fence people come out and install it and train their dog and it cost $1400 for a 1/4 acre lot. I have seen some people selling them on Craigslist before.
