>I also hope you consider an invisible fence<

Solson, you've got a Newfoundland. Your dog is too big for anything to hurt.

Here's the problem with an invisible fence. Your dog is contained all right, but any other stray dog not wearing a shock collar can wander in and out of your yard at will. A small dog like a cocker could be a sitting duck for an aggressive animal in this situation.

You're right but that problem is much less than when a Cocker wanders into the neighbor's yard where two aggressive pitbulls attacked it.

You can't eliminate everything. But an invisible fence could have prevented the cocker from leaving the yard.

BTW, our Newfie is a big dog but still vulnerable to an aggressive dog just like any other breed. IT may fare better in the fight but she is still vulnerable.
