I remember remodeling a house where they had a springer spaniel and an electric fence. The lady of the house said watch this, the dog was sitting on the lawn watching a couple of kids playing across the street. Sat patiently for a while, then started getting itchy. The dog starts pacing back and forth and then runs and jumps as high as it can, a little yelp and it was out. He knew what was coming.

it still takes conditioning
you still need to walk the dog on the inside perimeter (along side a visual barrier) as if there was a real wall there preventing you from leaving the yard until it becomes a conditioned habit.
this is why an adult elephant who is shackled with an easy to break chain....doesn't even try anymore.....mainly because it tried in Vain to break a much heavier chain as a young elephant so many times with no success that it no longer even tries.

My golden is a friekin long jumper. The breeder gave us that warning, it runs in this particular family line, the ability to do ariels and get distance. They system we are getting has an 8' barrrier, so hopefully that will be enough.
