Re: fencing

[JEvans]

Hi all,

Following is another reason I do not like invisible fencing.  Others have 
already
stated some reasons they fail to keep dogs safe.

A friend in my local kennel club is frantically searching for her dog 
(smaller terrier)
who has been fine within the confines of invisible fencing, until now.  The 
only
thing left in the yard is the dog's collar.  The dog has vanished.  Whether 
the collar
fell off somehow, or was taken off or the dog undid it will never be 
known.  What is
known, is the dog is gone.

I think invisible fencing can work to teach dogs about boundaries, but just 
don't think
they keep them as safe as a visible fence.  If I had to use one (say 
traditional fence
not allowed), then the dogs would only be out with me there surpervising.

my two cents, given on behalf of the the dogs who might not be safe with 
this type
of system,

fencing)
