underground fence containment for dogs

[scoopthecoop]

Trying to come up with an effective containment system for two basset hounds.  The invisible fence seems to be more cost effective for my five acres but I am not sure if it is the best idea for my hounds. Any input would be appreciated.

I personally have never tried it on my Rotties.
they are very powerful and I am not sure that it would contain them if they saw someting they really wanted.
Now my husbands cousin has 2 Chesapeak Bay retreivers and it works perfectly for them.
A chime sounds ( on thier collar) when they start getting close and they both back away.
He threw bones over the line and they won't go.
It might be perfect for your dogs.

It works to keep your dog(s) home, but it does not keep out predators or prey that your dogs may encounter. For that reason, I am not  fan.
