<div>I had invisible fencing and I loved it. BUT, two very big warnings. One is that, while your dog is in, you can't keep anything else out. Lizzie was attacked by two pit bulls while she was being good in her yard. It ended fine, but I was not a fan of invisible fencing that day. The second is that accidents happen. Batteries run out, funny things happen to the wires, stuff just happens, no matter how hard you try to prevent it. It is possible that the dogs can get out. And, yes, I know this happens with traditional fences too. But, it's something to think about. My parents' dog, Ike, knows better than they do just how long his battery lasts. Mom gets occasional calls from the neighborhood that her "boy" is across the road. It's also not very good when you have visiting dogs. </div>

<div>It was the only option for that yard. And, I did love it because the yard was completely open. But, I moved to a new house and have a 6 foot privacy fence. </div>

<div>Given the option, I would probably go with a nice privacy fence or a pretty iron one over invisible fencing. There are just too many things that can happen. And, I would have never thought I would be saying that! <br>

<div>Do any of you have success stories with basset hounds and electric fencing? We have always had cedar fencing for our other hounds, but this time we would rather not do the traditional fence. </div>
<div>You can write to the DD or directly to me.</div>
<div>Thanks.</div>
