    Cari, I personally have a 6 ft. wooden fence, but have a 4 ft. wooden 
fenced area within this. This enables me to keep at least part of my back 
yard nice. I've never had either dog jump the 4 ft. fence, but have had Jordy 
figure out both latches on it's gates. I've never tried the invisible fence, 
but would think that with having it set inside your chain link fence that the 
combination could be effective. As far is the bark collars go, I couldn't 
live were I do, and keep my pyrs without them. I purchased mine from petexpo 
online PET EXPO for $59 each, and they have been very effective. I had a 
neighbor complain, so I decided to try them. They are very humane in that 
they active only from a vibration sensor, and then only after 2 seconds on 
continues barking, so one bark will not set them off. Once I used them for a 
few weeks, I was able!
 to slowly stop using them for the most part. I've tried 
them now with no batteries, and they have the same effect. I did find that 
you have to take your time in putting them on, and part the hair under your 
pyrs neck so they are closer to the skin, otherwise the thick hair will 
insulate them from the shock.  When used properly these do work well as 
training aids.   Good luck with what ever you decide on it. Charlie
