It sounds like it did work extremely well. Tucker sounds about as bright as our three although it shows he was trained well.

After training Trixie and Tucker on it, it proved to be highly effective at keeping them in the yard. When going for walks out in the woods, we trained them to stop and wait at the border before crossing (even though they didn't have their fence collars on) so they would know how far they could go. I don't think I would use one in a populated area like where we are now, though, because it doesn't keep anything out. Also, one time Tucker charged across the boundary chasing something or other that had run by the yard, then ended up trapped outside it barking for us to come save him. Still, for the time and place when we had it, it worked well for us. We installed an underground wire barrier (Invisible Fence brand) around our log home when we lived out in the woods in New York.

It works great for their dogs and it even works great for Ace when we visit a few times per year. He remembers the boundaries well.

We recently added a post on our dog blog about whether electric shock collars are inhumane, and many people still think that they are. I think that if used properly and in the right situations, these devices can be effective ways of training your dog.

My dog is very well trained which makes my system work exactly how I need it to. This is a great blog and it is also the reason I switched in the first place.
