Dear Ed and Bill, First, Ed thanks for the research info, ... much easier when you start with the right search terms and a company name to look for and compare alternatives too.
Secondly, please don't worry I will indeed discuss the idea with a trainer, ... but there is no point in bringing it up if I read up on it and don't like it, or can't afford to install one. However, if it is a viable option then I would like to talk it over and see what is best to be arranged. I've got a large property (too large, major headache to keep mowed in the summer), and there is sadly no way I can afford a conventional fence, which is what I'd most like to have built. At the moment there is a smaller area securely fenced that acts as a sort of dog run. However, it is a pity to have that large stretch of grass that a dog(s) would so love to play on and not be using it more than a few times a year. But I wouldn't feel comfortable going out on my own to let the dog run without some safety measures installed. So thank you for all the help, I'll go do my homework now.
