choosing a system

We have a Labrador named Cecil. He is a one year old puppy, but growing rapidly. We live in a rural area in Indiana on about one acre. As I was growing up we always let our dogs run free. However, the traffic has increased dramatically on our country road and we did not feel secure letting Cecil roam. I am not one for cages and/or chains. So, I set out shopping for an invisible fence system. Although inclined to do things myself, I knew nothing about these fences with the exception of growing up on a farm and understanding above ground electric fences for livestock. I stumbled onto this do it yourself website and immediately noticed how organized it was and easy to navigate and compare different fence systems. I still shopped other websites checking prices as well as info, but kept coming back to this site. To me, the way the product is presented on-line, the ability to compare, and the information received says a lot about who your making your purchase from. After several days of studying, we purchased the fence for the PetSafe Stubborn Dog.
... I love the product and have been very pleased with how it works. There are no weaknesses in the line surrounding our one acre and Cecil now has such a firm understanding of the fence he stays in the yard with or without the collar. This is a great relief knowing that he is safely contained within the yard. We have trained him to cross in one area. Took some persuading, but he now has a good understanding that without the collar and with us there he can cross safely. Any other time, he does not attempt to cross. This product was extremely easy to install. My only honest concern, at this point, is the longevity of the product. This will be our first winter with it in place. As with any electrical product such as this, time will tell. Would I recommend it, absolutely.
