Why it matters

Pros and cons
Pros
- Tracking
- 20 fences
- Annual plan
Cons
- 48-hour battery
- Plan required
- 30 lb minimum
Limitations to weigh
- Invisible fences don't stop other animals or people coming in, and a determined dog may run through the boundary and then be blocked from returning.
- Containment systems need several weeks of flag training with rewards; welfare groups advise a qualified trainer and physical fencing where possible.
- Static corrections are aversive; use tone or vibration first and the lowest level that works.
- GPS boundaries drift near buildings and trees; no GPS fence is a physical barrier.
