If you’re looking for a way to teach your dog to stay in the yard while off leash, then you may want to invest in an electric, invisible fence. An electric fence is buried on the perimeter of the yard with the main electric switch somewhere near the house. When the fence is on, your dog wears a collar with a wireless box attached. The box is set to sense the electric fence and either lightly shock your dog or give off a piercing high pitched beep indicating that your dog should stop and retreat back until the noise or shock stops. It may take some time for your dog to adjust to this process and respect the fence. You may need to place flags along the yard perimeter to give your dog a visual to start with.
