Hey thanks for all your advice everyone. I went ahead and bought an electric fence for Cassie and an extra collar receiver for Polo. I figured that since the only time they really want to be outside is when my family is outside so I don't have to worry about anything like other dogs coming in. I bought a nice one too, one that has a low profile receiver on the collar so it wont weigh them down to much and it won't really get in their way. It's called like Petsafe Comfort Fit Deluxe or something. I can't wait until I get it…. I hope it works.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and I was wondering… Is ok to use electric collar fences? I want to be able to bring my basenji's out in the yard with me and my family, but the city I live in doesn't allow me to build a fence that would be capable of keeping my basenjis in. They would easily jump over it since the maximum height of a fence for the front yard is only three feet. I am in a dillema because I don't have a usable backyard either. The only thing I can think of is an underground electric collar fence, but I'm not sure if that will work for basenjis. Any suggestions?
