You can crank the invisible fence amplifiers up pretty good to where your dog would have to go a good distance getting a pretty good shock to get thru them. Not many dogs are that stupid.

Invisible fence should work for your dog. Problem is, it doesn't keep anything out.

my inlaws have one and it hasn't been turned on for like a year and their dog won't cross it even now. You have to carry him to get him past that boundary.

side note: if you take the shock collar off of him, he pays no mind to it. it's like the weight of the collar reminds him the fence exists and even though he won't get shocked, he won't cross it.

Side note #2: if you take the collar off of your dog to get him across the fence, but carry it in your hand it will shock the shit out of you.

My buddies akita would run full tilt right through the line. The dog seemed to know he'd get shocked, but once past the line was free to roam.

akitas would never feel the shock b/c of the amount of fur on their neck... it would have had to be shaven down.

Probably but he mentioned getting longer prongs (whatever they are called) because of the thicker hair. The thickness of hair maybe had something to do with it, but being 100+ lbs of alpha dog caused it the most- imo.

How about training your dog to stay in the yard. Little dog obedience training is a good method
every dog we owned and even our newest goldendoodle ( special need pet) he just crazy, we have trained with a choker chain, lunge line not to leave the boundary of our property.

Doesn't matter how much training they hace, most of the time, dogs will be dogs and will still leave the yard every now and then.

I think that is somewhat true but the reforcement of the training and property limits is important.
we have dear coming into our yard, the goldendoodle goes crazy. He will bolt after them, sometime he will go beyond the property not very far because of his speed, he will stop and run back to the back door. Knowing he has done something wrong, with a little scolding and then a little playful hugging he understand.

If goldendoodle was younger and surrounded by corn fields, he may act differently.
