Dear Ed, Yes that does help, ... thank you! I was wondering about price, and I hadn't realized there was a company called invisible fence until I tried to do a quick search on the net. I was startled since I didn't think it had to be installed by the company. I will do a search for electronic enclosures, ... thanks for that tip. (Besides, I wouldn't want some unknown person training my dog!) Encouraging that your dog took to it so quickly, and that it was relatively economical. May I ask about how large is the area you enclosed?

I used it with my last dog for approximately 12 years. I installed it myself and trained my dog to respect the fence. The installation was quite simple and took approximately 4 hours. The company from which I purchased the fence supplied a video tape on how to train your dog. The instructions were easy to follow and it took me about a week to train my dog. If you're talking about buying your fence from a company actually called Invisible Fence, I strongly suggest you search the Internet for "electronic animal enclosures" before you spend your money. When I talked to the Invisible Fence company, they wanted $1500.00 to install a fence and train my dog for half a day. I purchased a very similar fence on the Internet for $300.00. Again, that was 12 years ago so I would imagine that the price at Invisible Fence has gone up considerably. Hope this helps.

Has anyone ever used or installed (or preferably Both) one of these fences? I know the basics of how one functions but I don't know anyone who has one. Absolutely any advice, personal experiences or suggestions about what I ought to be looking for or keeping in mind would be appreciated.
