I have yet to find a dog that will ignore a shock collar. Now, the setting is different for every dog, but once you find it the dog will tend to obey. With that said, every once in a while a dog, knowing that it will get corrected, will decide to disobey.

Nitro, my yellow lab, is good as gold when the shock collar is on because he hates being corrected with it even on the lowest setting. However, he is smart and he knows when the collar isn't on. When the collar isn't on he will disobey more often because he doesn't mind me correcting him.

Somehow, I think an invisible fence would work just fine with Nitro, but my reason for a fence is to keep out the rif raf. Once I get a house I will have a fence in the backyard.
