I've got several neighbors that have them and for their dogs they seem to work great. For my Lab though, my experience was not so good. Basically I had the same problems others have described in that he would focus on something on the other side of the fence (a neighbor dog that would antagonize him) and run through it.
That said the only place mine could get up enough speed to run through it without getting zapped was at the end of the driveway. Every where else there were trees, etc in the way so he would have to try to cross slow and got zapped before he could get all the way across. A friend of mine had a similar problem with his dog. What he did was to go back and rerun the fence with a couple of passes across the area his dog was running through. He said the first time the dog tried running through it after the change, it got him good. Basically the first wire set it off, the second kept it going and it zapped him. He tried running away from it and either way he went he only put himself closer to another wire that kept getting him zapped. Buddy said after that incident he never even saw the dog get a warning as he never even got close to the fence again.
On top of that, I know the Pet Safe brand fences, which is what I've got, have a collar you can buy individually for stubborn dogs. It uses a 9V battery and is designed to give a zap over and above the standard collar to really get their attention if the regular one doesn't work. I got one for mine but the fence got cut and I haven't had time to get it fixed and try it yet.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
