Never have, but know people that have, and appears to be a combination or somewhere in the middle of what Glen and Midwest said. In some cases, the dogs figure out don't go near...or will get shocked. Others will get shocked as they barrel through them and keep barreling out of site (a friend's lab).

Had some friends that got a lab from a rescue place, and had to sign a contract that wouldn't use an invisable fence and 2 years of random visits (home life inspections) from the place. Then introduced me to the rescue lady whom asked me if I'd be interested. "Nope, I get mine from the pound for $40 and save them from the glue pot if aren't bought within 10 days, and they get the good home they never had". Got a collie-shepard and a lab that way, two of the most obedient and loving dogs I've ever had. Both died happy and naturally at old ages. Got another unwanted scrapper lab now, same kind of dog. Spend lots of time with him, never raised a hand to him, and he knows what to do and when to do it. If we're out in a field or wherever and he's walking up in front of me, I just stop without saying a word. He doesn't hear me anymore, he stops and looks back and doesn't move until I give him "Good boy", and startup again. Got horse fence around a few acres he wanders when is unattended, otherwise he's out or in a truck with me.

You spend time with your dogs, show them love, respect, confidence, and dicipline, they'll learn and be great dogs. Toss them out in the yard, ignore them wagging tails and go straight into the house when you get home, and there'll be a dog that gets hit by a car first time it gets loose. Not a bad thing to take them out and walk them from time to time - they mark their territories, and know their scent back home in many cases. You can and should talk to them, but give two word commands (name + action). A dog's only as good as its master.
