Customer Review: Great psychological as well as physical deterrent.
Summary: 4 Stars
I have two dogs who loved digging up my garden and loved digging under the fence.
My in-laws got me a Fido-Shock and I set it up. During install I decided to test it out, so I held the wire and waited for a zap... nothing. I double checked the wiring, held it again, and... nothing.
As I stood there with the wire in my hand, perplexed, my dog jumped on me. ZAP!
Aagh!
Yelp!
I had failed to take into considerationt he fact that my rubber shoes didn't gound me. When the dog jumped on me she grounded us both, and we both got zapped.
Getting shocked is unpleasant, more in an unnatural way than in a painful way.
The fence was immediatly effective. I think they each got shocked one more time and learned their lesson quick. After three days I unplugged the Fido-Shock unit but kept the fence up. The fence was a psychological deterrent and worked for years.
Eventually my wife took the fence down and six month later the dogs were back to their old tricks. My wife didn't let me set the fence back up, as she preferred dead plants to "prison wire" around the garden.
Maybe 5 years later I set up a new garden in the back yard that the dogs loved to tromp around in. I set the fence up and the dogs immediatly began ignoring it. I don't think they ever got shocked.
I left it plugged in for three days anyway (just in case) and have had it off ever since.
Fido-Shock works great. The disadvantages are that you can see the "prison wire" and stakes, and you might accidently shock yourself.
