There's a guy near us who breeds dachsunds (at least I think he does when I see about a dozen there...). He has two crate/kennels in the front yard. Seems like something like that would work for your dogs. I'd be concerned that, if you leave them outside they could get out of the rain and sun. But that would be less expensive than a larger fence.

We're still going back and forth between the invisible dog fencing and a regular fence. I don't trust the invisible fence while we're not at home.

Have you guys seen these?

We're still going back and forth between the invisible dog fencing and a regular fence. I don't trust the invisible fence while we're not at home.

I am with you on that fear! I know dogs do stay, but it is a mind game, not a physical barrier. Mine are kept in with electric fencing, and I trust it completely though it isn't an actual physical barrier either, they could slip through it if they wanted, but it is physical hotwires that they can see, and that seems to make me more sure of it. They certainly don't challenge it. Reminder of what it looks like (not saying this would be appropriate in a suburban landscape!) It also keeps other dogs *out*, which invisible fencing wouldn't do.
