Spinoff to Electric Collar
Does it work the same as a Fido Fence? As in does it give the same sensation to the dog?

Re: Spinoff to Electric Collar
yes, it is the same technology. although I believe on of the types of fences uses the high pitched sounds only dogs hear. This is from the invisible fence website (which is backed by the ASPCA)
Static stimulation training involves a collar-mounted training device that helps your pet learn the behaviors you want him to learn, whether that includes learning commands or boundaries or eliminating undesirable or dangerous behaviors that could put the pet's life at risk. A receiver on the collar delivers an electronic stimulation to the pet either manually through a trainer-operated remote transmitter or automatically through a pre-installed pet containment unit or a bark collar. The stimulation is actually a humane and gentle electronic stimulation - very similar to the static shock a person might feel when they touch something after walking across a carpet in a room with low relative humidity.
You may have heard the term "shock" used by some people who are critical or uneducated about the benefits of static stimulation training, but that term is a misnomer that does not accurately describe what static stimulation training really entails. Some veterinarians and consumers still have misconceptions about what the use of static stimulation entails, even though today's devices have come a long way in the 50 years since they were introduced. Today's devices are not referred to with the "shock:" label because they deliver lower and adjustable levels of stimulations that do not upset the animal while, at the same time, achieving the desired result.

I just want to interject here and say that some of the poorly made varieties of collar will actually "shock" to get a result. It is important, if one truly needs to be used, to make certain that it is used under the advisement of a reputable trainer and with the OK from a veterinarian, as some breeds have vulnerable tracheas and should not use any percussion type collars at all.
Also, I have read consumer reports that the invisible fencing is not 100% reliable, but I again would advise you to do some research on the matter.

Re: Spinoff to Electric Collar
The problem with invisible fences is that they don't keep anything OUT of your yard -- ex. if a stray dog wanders in, it isn't repelled and will walk right into your yard and perhaps play with your dog or attack it, who knows.

Just to clarify- I wouldn't get one myself, my BIL has one. He lives in a gated community in Florida and they are not allowed to have fences so that is what people with dogs do. I was just wondering.
I wouldn't get one for a few reasons:
1. Nothing could stop my terrier from chasing a squirrel
2. Other animals getting in
3. Someone taking her
4. I'm not comfortable with these collars.
Yeah even with the limit of no fence I might be skeptical (personally) that it would keep my dog safe. DH has a cousin who lives in a homestead community and they also cannot put fences up around the whole property, but he was able to put up a dog run.
