I'm in a similar situation, we live on a small property in town with a fully fenced yard right now. We just made an offer on a 1.5 Acre waterfront property with no fence on it. We have a 4 month old Jack Russell who is already showing strong prey drive, I was thinking the invisible fence as an option for cost and ascetic reasons. He's smart so will train easily but I'm concerned that he will defeat it chasing the local tree rats. Thoughts?
