Sister had buried invisible fence and a German Shepherd that loved to chase squirrels. You have no idea how often they came home with him waiting to get back on the property.
We had a neighbor, in MN, who had an invisible fence. We would watch their dog take a flying leap through the zap, yelping, as he went. He would run around the neighborhood, and when he was ready to go home, he would sit outside the invisible fence until the owner turned the fence off.

My next door neighbor, ( not goobermooch), had an invisible fence for her boxer, Bruno. Didnt stop him at all. Ran right on thru the fence chasing cars. They finally got a collar with longer prongs and it finally stopped him running thru. I think your best bet is the hotwire along the top.
Considering Mel has a good coat on him, an invisible fence probably wouldnt faze him at all. Get a good zapper ( hotwire) and hook it up.

It is a simple case of who opens the gate.....when i do, it i haven't had any problem...husband opened it that ONE day and just thought all three dogs would stay put....dogs don't work that way......

I do not have a problem with any of the dogs trying to escape.....it was a one time event that when DH opened the gate, paid no attention to three dogs looking at a big juicy chance to explore, that Mel took a walk about...:thumbsup...resolution is I , the alpha witch open and close the gate till we re fence and inset the gate away from the road.....easy fix..... (may use the hot wire for DH :lol:)

Easy fix.
You stop the truck. You and Leon switch places through the BARELY open gate. You open the gate while giving the dogs the evil eye, Leon drives the truck through and you close the gate ;)

Hi ya all, it's me Mel woof....like um I took advantage of the man of the house again, he forgot the gate was open and just before the alpha woman got home...I got a stroll, man it was so cool to sniff new smells and do as I want...then all of a sudden that red truck showed up...and out came alpha, lol she thought I was going to jump in the back seat..heck no way...we are on nobodys turff now, i ain't gettin in no darn truck. All of a sudden the man showed up and that alpha woman traded machines with him , and told him to go home...lol he did and he sure was mad at that alpha woman.
Well all of a sudden alpha put a lead on me and got into that little yellow buggy thing and told me to come on...what no seat? I gotta walk ?
She started slowly, and i had no choice other than to walk beside that noisy thing...then she made me walk faster, then i was trotting along side her. I tried to show her who was boss for a second but that sure didnt work for me...she went a little faster..now i was at a medium run..i saw that gate ahead and knew where we were going...and she went faster, i could keep up but we got to get to the dang gate, i am going to tire out if i keep doing this....ahhhh inside the gate, he closed it and locked it ...alpha just got out of that yellow thing and took the lead off me..he started to complain that i didnt come when he called my name, lol (silly human) she said when you leave a gate open YOU are responsible for the dog taking a stroll.....
I just stood beside my alpha and together we went to check on our goats....she did wisper to me that i should respect the man of the house. I said I do woof woof :lol:
DH doesn’t always stand for Dear husband !

Mel best start towing the line or Alpha Woman might get unhappy with him. Of course it is often said that LGDs always come when called ... if they feel like it.

Alpha woman has no problem with Mel....."Someone" needs to remember the gate !!!
