WE have an invisible fence system - I bought mine from Canada from this guy as it worked out best value for money.

Essentially you trace a wire around the area you want to restrict the dog to - can be any length - mine runs to around 800 ft. The ends of the wire connect to a low voltage transmitter, and then the dog wears a collar with a receiver. If he gets near to the fence he gets an audible bleep. If he starts getting closer still the beep gets faster and if he gets too close he gets a static shock. Training was straightforward - one shock was enough to deter him and now he knows the area without even waiting for the bleeps!

It's a good system because it means we can leave our dog out without fear of him straying or causing a nuisance.

Horses for courses I suppose - or perhaps that should be hounds for pounds, or something simliar. We cannot fence off our land - it is open green belt parkland - so we tried the invisible method and, probably by luck as much as anything, it has worked well with the two dogs we have had since living here.

I take your points though and it is down as much to the area where we live and the types of dog we keep that it works for us. We have had a couple of outages through broken fence wire (can be a temporary pain to locate!) and once when the batteries went (we should have changed them earlier). We now have a ritual of checking the signal once a week (our dog is aware of the presence of the fence and won't test it that often) plus change the batteries religiously at teh beginning of each year.

I'm not up on greyhounds but can imagine the difficulties they would create being determined hunters as a breed.

My friend had a rescue greyhound. She would run the perimeter of their fenced in yard. She wore a trail into the grass, which caused some problems with her traction in the corners on rainy days.

Yeah it was. it was all over the news for a long time. I lived in NV and the freak lived in CA. So I am not sure what happened with his trial. Reno local news kinda died out after his arrest.

The two girls gave their testimony at a local church. It was available on cassette but I never heard it. Poor things are prolly still affected by it.

Well, she'd probably get pissed at me for saying it, but she says it about people all the time, so you know what? I'm gonna say it. It's not like in cheating on her with you or anything.
