Pet Safe "Stay & Play". It is an adjustable electronic fence system. The absence of a signal triggers the collar.

The dogs must be taught to return toward the 'Pod when the colar beeps, but mine learned quickly.

We use a metal wire fence that is composed of 8 2 ft panels about 2 ft high.  the cairn terrier and mini Aussie have learned from home that it makes a horrible racket if it falls over, so they leave it alone.  We don't leave them in the pen if we are not around.  WE also use a 25 ft cord and snap. But only if we are around.

Who said anything about turning it off? I want to turn it UP!

We were looking at a Yaheetech fence on Amazon. May not be big enough for you. Looks like you could get 2 and put them together, but depends if your dog would stay in or try to get out. Think if they wanted out, they would get out.

For me its really a great initiative to have a dog fencing in order to make them aware or I can say they get to know more clearly the outside world.

Dogs are experts at making their owners feel guilty about almost everything.  No caring human being can look into their sad eyes and say no.

Thanks, we would never leave our dogs unattended, I was just looking for some ideas to let them safely enjoy the outdoors with us. One of our dogs is great at making us feel guilty about leaving her inside while we are sitting outside :-).

mcarter, the suggestion of an electric fence was a joke, ergo the devil emoji.  Evil Smile  Of course, one would not really want to turn on electricity in such a fence where others could come into contact with it, children, adults, or the pets of others.  It would indeed result in a possible injury claim, not to mention a violation of park rules.  

On the other hand, if you're out in the boondocks and have a bunch of goats with you, it would work really well.  Big smile

We have one 80lb dog. On a campground he is secured by leash and halter when outside. Not sure what the benefit of a temp fence would be, but I'm not prepared to chance that. There is a liability issue here. Years ago I used to do livestock fencing. The test for a goat fence was throw a bucket of water at it, if the water goes thru so will a goat:)
