Gordon Setter Forum:
Invisible fencing

Has anyone any experience good or bad of putting a Gordon on an invisible fence? I would like to hear from you as we are considering this.

Last fall I moved to Greensboro, NC and as a temporary messure we put up an invisible fence. We were only going to use it until we finished the real fence. One November morning my wife put him out to goto the bathroom and he never returned. We are still looking for him.

We have used an invisible fence for our Gordon Setter 8 years. As long as you remember to change the battery on a 3/4 month basis they work well. Our Gordon has since passed away, and we are deciding should we get another.
