Anyone have any experience with underground or GPS containment collars? My first thought was to have something to keep a dog in a 2 acre lot (I was thinking underground fence) . I saw something about a GPS containment collar. After searching a little bit, GPS sound possible and interesting. Might could allow me to cover more acres. Anyone have any experience with either type containment system? Any recommendations?

I have a GPS collar. Very easy and works well.

Which one do you use? How big of an area will cover? Can you create irregular boundaries for it? Thanks

I have an underground system. I have had it for about 5 years. When it is working it is awesome I'm covering between 4 and 5 acres. The problem with the system is when it breaks it is a problem to find the break. If I had to update I would look into the GPS system. But the underground fence has kept my 3 labs out of highway 61 for years.

SB, did you decide on a decide on a system. My dogs have been venturing way outside the neighborhood the last few days so I am fixing to invest in something. I have 2.5 acres.

Peewee - I haven't done anything. I was gaining ideas for when we build a house and get a dog. No dog right now.

I highly recommend if you go underground to upgrade to 14 ga. wire.

I went with 16ga only because i had 10,000 feet of it at the office.

I would also like to know about the GPS system as I would like to have it cover about 8 acres.
