I've used one of these fences in every home I've owned. I also have installed these for my parents and sister. The entire process is relatively easy, you just have to really think about where you want your dogs to have access before you start laying the wire. My favorite way to install this is to attach it to a pre existing fence. I staple it to the fence about 1' high in order to be able to weed eat the fence line. I have buried it in the past and digging the trench is a pain but it's nice if you don't want to see the wire or if you don't have a physical fence. I've used both the regular and the "stubborn dog" version for many different dogs of many different sizes with good results. I will definitely repurchase if I move.
