- My brother had an invisible fence installed around his property.
- At first, it did a wonderful job of retaining his two dogs. But
- after treeing a squirrel in the neighbor's yard one day, they
- learned that they after they pass over the fence, the electric
- shock goes away and is now totally useless to my brother. Some
- dogs are smarter than people give them credit for.
