I'm raising my eyebrows at the thought of using an e-collar on an 8 mo old puppy whose training has just started.

It may cost less to fence than you think.

We fenced 1-1/2 acres of our backyard. We did the work ourselves (two adults). In the woods where it can't be seen, we have rusty, ratty, ugly, mismatched fencing. The only new fencing is what people can see and what can be seen from the house.

Then, putting the dogs on a line seems a kinder, less expensive solution to me.
