How safe is Invisible Fencing for dogs and cats?

It can give your dog bad shock.Not good at all.

that is really a great question...I wondered many times..does it really work? Or do they scam people out of their money.May be someone on here,has one of them fences and let us know,if it works.

I would never use it myself. A very determined dog can learn that the shock only lasts until they are over the "line." After that, a great enough temptation will get the dog to jump the fence. Also, it doesn't prevent other animals from crossing into the property and attacking your pet either.

I've never heard of invisible fencing unless you mean using an electric shock similar to an electric fence you use around cattle fields, but wireless. If the amount of the charge is minimal and just lets the animal know that going there is a no no, I can't see any harm, but if it hurts the animal, I say definitely NO!

I know of several people with invisible fencing and they were very hapy with it, It had been recommended by their vet. It took a few weeks of training but the dogs got trained quickly and there were no deaths and they did not appear to be inmuch pain. I prefer the good old fashion method of sit, down and stay..but it is not for everyone.

I have not heard about it. BUt I entirely agree with your views.

I have never used it. I don't know anything about it. Here is some information that I have found on the topic. http://www.dogpatch.org/doginfo/invfence.html It sounds like there are pros and cons to it. I don't think that I would use it myself. I don't think that it is secure enough.

I am not sure because I never have heard of them before and I do not know how safe they would be at all to the pets.

Protection for our pet? We have invisible fencing- When we bought the house it was already installed- It cover at least 3 acres of our land- We bought an extra collar- the owners left their Boxer to us- and we have a Corgi- Our dogs are able to roam all over the land without getting off the land or getting into trouble- They know where the lines are- their collars beep when they get too close- It works wonderful- gives them a warning- and if they cross the line- they get shocked- sure it sounds inhumane- but I think I’ve seen the Boxer cross once in the 3 years we’ve owned the place- and the Corgi Never- Great training- I’ve never seen cats on invisible fencing- I keep saying that I wish they would come out with something safe for cats- I have had 4 cats hit in the road- : ((( our new cat is strictly indoors- but howls so to get out- We’ve had her for about 3 months- and she isn’t getting better- I think invisible fencing is safe for dogs and keeps them out of the road- out of trouble- out of the woods chasing deer.

i dunno how well it work, but if i have the chance, i would love to put one of them on my neighbor to tell them to stay in their own yard, instan wondering around in my and looking though everything, messing around with stuff, pissed me off arrr

I do not think it is safe at all. I know that i would never do that. The animals can get hurt. And that is the last thing i want to happen. I never heard of this. When did they come with this aesthetic idea?
