Disadvantages
Some disadvantages to invisible fencing include its inability to keep other animals out of this predetermined boundary. A dog contained within an invisible fence can still fall prey to a larger dog or coyote, or even a person looking to harass or even steal animals. This type of fencing does not have a warning mechanism to humans who might inadvertently wander inside the perimeter, making them more susceptible to dog bites/attacks. This type of containment is also not maintenance free; this system can only operate if the batteries in the animal’s collar are properly working. Finally invisible fencing is not effectively accepted by every animal. Some pets become too afraid to wander into their yards out of fear of being shocked.
