So there are visual cues about boundaries that I’m sure helped the dogs adjust. One of them will still cross the line once a week or so, but he usually comes back quickly.
We have it set to a low power, FWIW. Edit: the big advantage for us when we bought it was that Halo allowed you to draw your boundary line. As of 18 months ago, a lot of the options either limited you to a rectangle or even just had a circular radius. It also has no continuing subscription cost, which at least one other brand did, and they can fuck right off with that.

Set the boundaries on a map and spend a little time training the dog and there you go. Previous Message
Probably need to have something to keep the new pup out of the yard of the pit pull next door. Never worried about having a fence previously as either 1) there wasn't a house there, or 2) my older dog learned to stay on our side of the woods when there were other dogs on that property.
As we have a large, wooded area I'd prefer not to go with a physical line as I'm not sure it could easily be buried with all the tree roots. (A prior attempt by former neighbors with a physical line was not buried in large sections for this reason.)
Biggest concern is range and how it would work with a solid tree canopy.
