Oh my gosh! That's AWFUL!!!!

I appreciate the feedback. I do want everyone to know that IF we decide to go 
with the UF, we will use it only when we are home and watching the dogs. It 
would be a way to have them off leash in our yard. I also have a chain link 
dog run with a 6 ft fence and in general, my 2 dogs are house dogs 99% of the 
time.

I will say that I hear horror stories about dogs getting out of even 
conventional fences. In fact, my parents spent an obscene amount on a 6 ft 
privacy fence -- wood -- for their dogs and then tried EVERYTHING after one 
of their dogs kept figurig ways out. They added hot wire, rock fill below, 
etc. The dog still gets out regularly.
