I went ahead and bit the bullet and bought this one. IT goes all the way around my 10 acre place but is rated for over a mile of fence. I have 3 dogs on the place that were just like yours sound. I put it in 3 years ago and haven't replaced the battery in any of them yet. I trained them in accordance with the instructions and only once the little female got so excited that she blew through the fence and couldn't get back. The colors have been on without being taken off for any length of time so they no longer even try the fence and you can't even beg them to leave. The thing about this system is I can let them into the back of the pickup or in the car and drive over it and it doesn't seem to bother them at all. It may be because now after all this time I have gradually decreased the collar settings and also the radio signal strength so that it's more of a warning than the shock thing. The one old dog when he first encountered it, hit it the first time and remained on the porch for the next week. It was funny because you could see the "What the He** happened to me look on his face, but that was the first and last time. He's a yellow lab. The beagle learns from others mistakes. He kind of sniffed along testing the perimeter and pretty soon was trotting along about 6 feet from the line. The black lab puppy was a different story, You would have thought she was a glutton for punishment as she kept running up to it and it was she was bouncing off it and shed try a little but farther down the line. She did this all the way around the perimeter. Now I know this sounds like it is heartless, but I assure it isn't as heartless as what brought this whole thing on and that was that the little black lab puppy pulled out of her collar and ran across the highway and got hit by a car and ended up being my grand daughters 3 legged puppy. She wrote a letter to Santa because the puppy had been a present from Santa and wanted him to to fix her broken puppy because it only had three legs now. Well needles to say Santa wrote back, and as she had named the puppy Kay, that Kay needed a good friend and that she should now call her Special Kay. They are the best of friends and praise the Lord the dog doesn't know she only has three legs and runs and plays like the rest of them. I wish I had done this before her tragedy. The person that hit her didn't even slow down or try to stop. Another driver actually picked the pup up, took her to the vet, payed for her care and got hold of us and the sheriff to let use know what had happened to the dog and the sheriff went and arrested the driver for extreme cruelty to animals. For once justice was met. But If I had had this fence, It would have never happened. Please, those of you who love animals, I am one of you. You may think its cruel at first but what is worse? keeping them up in the house or a little pen or on a chain? I hate all those options. A couple of little shocks that they will experience at first doesn't compare to what Special Kay went through, and she and her bros have 10 acres to run on. The collars have an audible warning before the shock. Read the information. Also, you can bury the wire or do like I did and tie wrap it to the existing fence. I express how much I recommend this system, and no I have nothing to do with the company. If you love and care about the dog, Don't hesitate. Get the SportDog In-Ground Fence System (SDF-100) that is advertised on this site. LarryT
