Underground fences have taken the world on a new turn that's not all that new really at all but has raised all sorts of interesting questions about ethics and morality when were talking about our pets.
Underground fences work much the same way as invisible fences with the trenches dug around their property where wireless antenna is buried which transmits a signal. Then your pet, usually are dog, wears a collar that will alert the canine when they've traveled outside the area of the fence and then if they continue on that path will send shockwaves through the dog sending him reeling until he learns his perimeter. This can happen over and over again and this is where the morality question comes in to play.

One of the biggest things which comes up again and again it's the fact that some dogs can outsmart your system; that is if your dog is prone to hunt or chase than the urge may be so strong to do so that they will learn the ways around the system.
